About TortoiseGit
TortoiseGit is a Windows Shell Interface to Git and based on TortoiseSVN. It’s open source and can fully be build with freely available software.
Since it’s not an integration for a specific IDE like Visual Studio, Eclipse or others, you can use it with whatever development tools you like, and with any type of file. Main interaction with TortoiseGit will be using the context menu of the Windows explorer.
TortoiseGit supports you by regular tasks, such as committing, showing logs, diffing two versions, creating branches and tags, creating patches and so on (see our Screenshots or documentation).
It is developed under the GPL. Which means it is completely free for anyone to use, including in a commercial environment, without any restriction. The source code is also freely available, so you can even develop your own version if you wish to.
Features of TortoiseGit
- Easy to use
- all commands are available directly from the Windows Explorer (see screenshots).
- only commands that make sense for the selected file/folder are shown. You won’t see any commands that you can’t use in your situation.
- See the status of your files directly in the Windows explorer (see screenshots)
- descriptive dialogs, constantly improved due to user feedback
- allows moving files by right-dragging them in the Windows explorer
- Powerful commit dialog (see screenshots)
- integrated spell checker for log messages
- auto completion of paths and keywords of the modified files
- text formatting with special chars
- Per project settings
- minimum log message length to avoid accidentally committing with an empty log message
- language to use for the spell checker
- Integration with issue tracking systems
TortoiseGit provides a flexible mechanism to integrate any web based bug tracking system.- A separate input box to enter the issue number assigned to the commit, or coloring of the issue number directly in the log message itself
- When showing all log messages, an extra column is added with the issue number. You can immediately see to which issue the commit belongs to.
- Issue numbers are converted into links which open the webbrowser directly on the corresponding issue
- Optional warning if a commit isn’t assigned to an issue number
- Helpful Tools
- TortoiseGitMerge (see screenshot and the TortoiseGitMerge manual)
- Shows changes you made to your files
- Helps resolving conflicts
- Can apply patchfiles you got from users without commit access to your repository
- TortoiseGitBlame: to show blames of files. Shows also log messages for each line in a file. (see screenshot)
- TortoiseGitIDiff: to see the changes you made to your image files (see screenshot)
- TortoiseGitMerge (see screenshot and the TortoiseGitMerge manual)
- Available in many languages
- TortoiseGit is stable
- Before every release, we create one or more preview releases for «adventurous» people to test first. This helps finding bugs very early so they won’t even get into an official release.
- A custom crash report tool is included in every TortoiseGit release which helps us fix the bugs much faster, even if you can’t remember exactly what you did to trigger it.

Installing TortoiseGit
System requirements
TortoiseGit runs on Windows 7 or higher. Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista are no longer supported. If you are running such an old system, you can still use older, however unsupported, releases of TortoiseGit. Those can be found on the download server (TortoiseGit 1.7 dropped support for Windows 2000; TortoiseGit 1.9 dropped support for Windows XP, TortoiseGit 2.5 dropped support for Windows Vista).
If you encounter any problems during or after installing TortoiseGit please refer to Appendix A, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) first.
Installation
TortoiseGit comes with an easy to use installer. Double click on the installer file and follow the instructions. The installer will take care of the rest.
One prerequisite of TortoiseGit is that it requires an already installed (command line) Git client which provides a git.exe . Git for Windows is recommended (Cygwin and MSYS2 Git also work, see the section called “General Settings” for configuration. Please note that Cygwin and MSYS2 Git are not officially supported by TortoiseGit as the developers only use Git for Windows. Bug reports, however, are welcome). Installation of Git for Windows can be done with preselected options, however, no need to install the «Windows Explorer integration». If you know about CRLF and LF line endings and you have editors coping with that, you should select «Checkout as-is, commit as-is» in order to prevent automatic translations.
Important
You need Administrator privileges to install TortoiseGit.
Language Packs
The TortoiseGit user interface has been translated into many different languages, so you may be able to download a language pack to suit your needs. You can find the language packs on our translation status page . And if there is no language pack available yet, why not join the team and submit your own translation 😉
Each language pack is packaged as a .msi installer. Just run the install program after the installation of the main TortoiseGit package and follow the instructions. After the installation finishes, the translation will be available and can be selected in settings dialog (cf. the section called “General Settings”).
Spell checker
TortoiseGit includes a spell checker which allows you to check your commit log messages. This is especially useful if the project language is not your native language. By default the spell checker uses the same dictionary files as LibreOffice , OpenOffice.org and Mozilla . TortoiseGit can also use the spell checker shipped with Windows 8+. However, this needs to be enabled manually in advanced settings (key Win8SpellChecker ) at the moment.
The installer by default automatically adds the US English dictionary. If you want other languages, the easiest option is simply to install one of TortoiseGit’s language packs (see the section called “Language Packs”). This will install the appropriate dictionary files as well as the TortoiseGit local user interface. After the installation finishes, the translation will be available. When using the Windows spell checker, you need to install the dictionary in Windows first.
Or you can install the dictionaries yourself. If you have OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice or Mozilla installed, you can copy those dictionaries, which are located in the installation folders for those applications. Otherwise, you need to download the required dictionary files from https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/ or https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries
Once you have got the dictionary files, you probably need to rename them so that the filenames only have the locale chars in it. Example:
Then just copy them into the %APPDATA%\TortoiseGit\dic folder. If that folder isn’t there, you have to create it first. TortoiseGit will also search the Languages sub-folder of the TortoiseGit installation folder (normally this will be C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\Languages ); this is the place where the language packs put their files. However, the %APPDATA% -folder doesn’t require administrator privileges and, thus, has higher priority. The next time you start TortoiseGit, the spell checker will be available.
If you install multiple dictionaries, TortoiseGit uses these rules to select which one to use.
Check the tgit.projectlanguage setting. This setting can be set using TortoiseGit Settings Dialogs 3 page (the section called “TortoiseGit Dialog Settings 3”). Refer to the section called “git-config(1)” for information about setting properties (use the LCID Dec value as assigned by Microsoft).
If no project language is set, or that language is not installed, try the language corresponding to the Windows locale.
If the exact Windows locale doesn’t work, try the “ Base ” language, e.g. de_CH (Swiss-German) falls back to de_DE (German).
If none of the above works, then the default language is English, which is included by default with the standard installation.
When using the Windows spell checker, this is tried first. If no Windows dictionary, based on these fallback-rules, could be found then the «old» spell checker is used as a fallback.

Imprint/Privacy Policy Установка Tortoise GIT в WindowsВведениеОбычно git не установлен по умолчанию, поэтому нужно установить gitbash TortoiseGitУстанавливаем GIT for Windows отсюда После установки Git for Windows появится консоль Во время установки TortoiseGit Вам нужно будет указать путь до Git.exe Git.exe появится после установки Git for Windows , так что следите за очерёдностью действий. Затем нужно приступить к генерации ключей. Я выбираю опцию Generate PuTTY key pair После утомительного движения мышью в течении 30 секунд Вы увидите результат. Ключи нужно сохранить в директорию на Вашем ПК. Название и путь до директории желательно запомнить. Затем Вам нужно посетить страницу загрузки ключей SSH Keys и загрузить туда свой PUBLIC key. Начинаться он должен с ssh-rsa. Проще всего скопировать его из окна putty В случае успеха Вы попадёте на Далее нужно указать путь до ключа в настройках TortoiseGit. Я не знаю где он сейчас находится в самих настройках. Раньше был в пункте Remotes, если я не ошибаюсь. Настройки выглядят следующим образом, но мы не будем там ковыряться а введем путь до ключа на следующем шаге. Чтобы получить точный url который Вы хотите клонировать зайдите в нужную ветку (branch) и нажмите на кнопку Clone. Выберите Clone with SSH. Чтобы скопировать этот адрес нужно нажать на значок копирования. Создадим папку Gitlab_test_HeiHei.ru Кликаем правой кнопкой и выбираем Git Clone Вставляем адрес, который мы до этого скопировали из GitLab в поле URL Затем показываем путь до приватного ключа и нажимаем OK. В случае успеха TortoiseGit покажет сообщение Success Ветки — BranchesКогда вы работаете с Git важно разобраться с принципом работы веток. Если Вы разработчик, то стандартная ветка для Вас скорее всего называется dev. В неё Вы делаете свои коммиты или пуши, а старший программист потом объединяет их в ветку master Посмотреть на список всех веток можно в разделе Repository → Branches Там будут ветки master, dev и любые какие придумали разработчики. Иногда они могут быть привязаны к определённым историям в планировщике задач (например Pivotal Tracker ) а могут просто появляться для проверки каких-то гипотез. Чтобы поменять ветку, с которой Вы синхронизировали папку на Вашем компьютере.
