Visual Studio's Team Explorer lets you do most common Git tasks that you'll need for your daily work. From the Visual Studio View menu, open Team Explorer or use the Ctrl+, Ctrl+M hotkey.

Team Explorer and the Git command-line work great together. When you make updates and run commands through one interface, you'll see those changes reflected in the other.

Git Installation instructions are available if you don't have Git installed on your computer.
