Glad someone did this, might want to add a small bit on:
Simply because I find myself using the -A option more often than not.Code:git add -A
I was working with github recently and I ended up using this > GitHub for Windows was extremely easy to setup.
Can you explain how this is limited? seems to me like most features you described in your thread are implemented into the program (.gitignore etc.) . The only limited feature is the fact that it uses github.
Not to mention the pros it provides e.g create repository from the program and commit by simply typing a comment in a box and clicking commit & if you'd prefer the command line you can even use that.
I hated using that, it ran slow on my computer and the fact I could only use it for GitHub irritated me. I use SmartGit now and it's a ton more versatile and surprisingly easier to use (once you get the hang of it of course) than GitHub for Windows
and since I'm not restricted to GitHub I can actually have private repos lol without paying
No, that is the limiting feature. There is so much more to git that I haven't described here, because this is supposed to be the very basics of git. GitHub for Windows also implements the very basics.
If you find clicking boxes significantly easier than typing "git init" then by all means use GitHub for Windows. But, in my opinion, it's much better to get used to command line/terminal - if you go to a job interview and say you know how to use git because you've used GitHub for windows, you'll get laughed at.
I wasn't saying people shouldn't use the command line or anything, I personally use both depending on which OS i'm working on. All i'm saying is the reason everyone didn't use git in the past is due to their inexperience with the command line (think of all the window users who've never experienced it before). The reason github for windows was built in the first place was to make it easier for beginners to start using git/github.
Not trying to argue with anyone saying they should use this or that. All i'm saying is there is an alternative for beginners that might feel overwhelmed by the setup .
