I'm pretty new at git and only use github. Why should I use this over the official github client? The official app is pretty easy to use and makes sense to me.

I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use both. I haven't used this windows client yet, but on the mac it has quite a few features that really make it worth your while. I still commit and manage git from the command line mostly, but its worth the price of admission just for the graphs and diffs alone.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Gee, I hope your hard drive keeps spinning, or you'll have a mess on your hands. I think I take the opposite approach. I try to have the most easy-to-reproduce dev (and just general use) environment possible.

Unless I am doing very heavy weight development work all of my dev envs are in VMware Worktstation virtual machines. So flexible to work with and I can archive off the whole devenv with the project once complete knowing I can just load it back up in a few minutes if I need to in the future. Bliss.
