I believe this is a great product. I’ve been in the engineering industry since 2006. I’ve worked for many employers and I believe that after reviewing the links and reading google reviews, I would use it.                        

Angus

TortoiseGit would be a great tool for users that are more advance with computers. Although it states that it is easy to use, TortoiseGit uses commands, logs, patches, etc that beginners may not understand right away. This tool is free to download and has features like autocorrect for spelling and shows the users all the changes they have made in case they need to go back and adjust.
