I would personally recommend to look at Git Extensions [1]. I like it for being straightforward: basically it provides GUI for basic operations typically done by high-level CLI commands - hence not imposing any specific workflow. This is in contrast to TortoiseGit which, when I last checked, tried to implement the same model TortoiseSVN did. Also note that some folks there days prefer "fully integrated" solutions, so simply using VSCode could work as well: it has built-in support for Git (or at least a "blessed" extension - I can't remember). I'd personally would find it more useful from the tutoring PoV to have the two activities - programming or editing text files during other kinds of activity, and managing the resulting modifications using a version control system - but you might have a different idea, of course. 1. http://gitextensions.github.io/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
