Can I use command-line Git tools and TortoiseGit simultaneously?
Sometimes information regarding git are more detailed and easier accessible when using git-bash than using TortoiseGit. Therefore, I would want to use git-bash for very specific issues (e.g. creating a branch/checkout at the same time and commit uncomitted changes). git checkout -b my_new_branch git commit Could I work with TortoiseGit without any problems afterwards? And vice versa? Yes. tortoise-git is just a user interface to the command line tools which just interpret the .git subdir in your project's directory. You can use them both on the same project, though running actions concurrently
