Install mysysgit    Same as Greg Hewgill s answer    Install Tortoisegit    Tortoisegit requires mysysgit or something similiar like Cygwin    After TortoiseGit is installed  right-click on a folder  select Git Clone     then enter the Url of the repository  then click Ok   This answer is not any better than just installing mysysgit  but you can avoid the dreaded command line
