I have been using Git Extensions with Git on Windows for a while now. So, I know my way around it.

Installing on a new laptop, I see that it wants the latest dotnet installed. I would rather not add more MS bulk.

I don't know much CLI GIT. I am looking for a completely GUI Git interface

  • For Windows
  • Free or one time reasonable cost, under AUD50.
  • Basic GIT support (such as commit, branch, fetch, push, stash, checkout, merge and rebase)
  • Visual representations of worms/snakes
  • Support for Beyond Compare merge/compare tool
  • Support for Notepad++ for editing
  • Support for remote GIT repos (Synology NAS box), as well as local ones

    What do you mean by "Full GIT support". IMHO git is incredibly complex and contains so many features and functions that I don't think there is a UI tool that covers even 80% of GIT functionality. And regarding editing what do you want to edit in GIT besides the commit messages? If you want to edit the files from the repo then you are more searching for an IDE than a GIT UI tool. Git remote repos: GIT supports several remote protocols, what protocols do you have in mind besides the common protocols used by git like ssh or https? Commented Mar 29 at 17:25

    One thing to keep in mind is that the .net framework may be used by other apps on your system. You may even have multiple versions currently on your system. The MS "bloat" may actually serve more than just Git Extensions. Commented Mar 29 at 17:56

    @Robert, good point, I have corrected my question Commented Mar 31 at 6:47
  • Which IDE do you use? Doesn;t it have Git support built in, or as a plugin/extension? Commented Mar 31 at 6:59
  • What are of worms/snakes? Commented Apr 14 at 7:07

I'll toss GitKraken into the ring.

  • Windows: Yip
  • One time cost: No, but there is a free tier that allows for all you asked (private repos on a public git hoster like GitHub excluded)
  • Visual representation of axis?Screenshot of GitKraken
  • Support for BeyondCompare? Check, you can use any merge tool you like.
  • Support for NotePad++? Well, you do not need to edit from the git client you use, simply use Notepad++ on the same directory. However, you can configure to open an editor on the selected file/directory, so: Check
