Summary

Git adoption on Windows has historically faced challenges, but recent improvements through msysGit have made support quite robust, with both Git-Gui and the command line version functioning effectively. However, the absence of a TortoiseGit application, akin to the widely-used TortoiseSVN in the Windows ecosystem, remains a notable gap. The team at Logical Awesome, who do not regularly use Windows, is seeking to bridge this gap by challenging developers, particularly those proficient in Python, to create a TortoiseGit compatible with msysGit. The goal is to provide an experience familiar to TortoiseSVN users by leveraging the similarities between Mercurial and Git command sets. As an incentive, Logical Awesome offers a lifetime free Large account to whoever develops an installable executable for the community.
