       Anyone have experience with Windows users who are only semi command line familiar using git?  What good tools are available that are FOSS?  TortiseGit?

       I think the regular git client (via https://git-scm.com/) has a pretty decent context menu based thing these days

       @cwebber I generally point people at https://desktop.github.com/ (although it's been rewritten since i've last used it)it's MIT licensed fwiw

       @cwebber i think most non-shell power users these days use GitKraken but that has a proprietary license.

       TortoiseGit isn't quite there. Some people use the plugins in various free software IDEs, some people use github.com/desktop/desktop .

       @cwebber Use the program "git" on the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

       @cal If I read @cwebber correctly, "users who are only semi command line familiar" means this is not the best option.git-bash is less involved and space-consuming than enabling WSL and installing a distro, and it's perfectly adequate for people who live on the command line and want to do some gittery.

       @cwebber What IDE are they using? We moved our windows devs to eclipse and used it's native git plugins and they were total newbs to version control.

       @cwebber I which more people would use #GNU #Bazaar. But for #Git, one can host a repository in a #Kallithea repository provider, this would allow guests to do web-based edits to the files.

       @adfeno @cwebber I used bzr a lot before git came on the scene and I liked it.But the main sponsor of bzr development was Canonical, and they have mostly migrated to git. No new tools are being developed and the existing tools aren't being maintained.This was written 7 years ago and since then only two mainly security fix releases have come out. bzr is stuck on Python 2, which will soon not see any support:www.jelmer.uk/pages/bzr-a-retr…
