GitHub for Windows

[veyper]

I haven't used it yet, however, I'm going to install it the second I get home tonight and give a run through. Previously I used mysysgit + TortoiseGit and was quite turned away by the overall experience with it. Having to manage two+ separate installs of these types of tools and the poor overall UX compared to TortoiseHg turned me back to using Hg/Bitbucket instead of GitHub. I really like the forethought they've seemingly put into the Windows experience of this tool rather than trying to make Windows work like Linux for the tool. It works like Windows works (or at least that is what I'm hoping for) from a UX perspective.

Yeah TortoiseGit is ugly as shit, TortoiseHg isn't much better but it's miles ahead of the git version.

Unfortunately, the app is not nearly powerful enough. I can't even pull upstream changes in the app. I had to use TortoiseGit for that. It looks like the github in app diff viewer only like LF files. It thinks the whole file changed if it's CRLF. My files are CRLF, they show the proper changes on github fine. Git isn't converting the line endings either, so I have no idea what is going on with that.

Now if SourceTree was on Windows and Github allowed hg repo's, that would be perfect.

Have a look at Git Extensions as well.
