Sounds like good news for making Git stuff easier on Windows platform. Git Extensions is pretty good, but can be intimidating for the unexperienced.

If you're willing to live slightly dangerously, you can help Plastic SCM test their [Windows-friendly] Git integration: http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2013/03/gitsync-is-out-na...

Bugger. Windows 7+.

I've had Windows 7 sitting on the shelf since the day it launched, but haven't get got round to installing it...

Is there anything like this for Linux?

And has anyone managed to get this up and running with Wine/PlayOnLinux?

Free for beta, but what about prices in general?

SmartGitHG's name sucks hard but it's close to SourceTree feature-wise: http://www.syntevo.com/smartgithg/index.html

Note that it isn't a real Git client, but a communication layer between a PlasticSCM repo and a remote git repository.

SourceTree has been free since joining Atlassian. We'll continue to keep the product free as part of our Bitbucket platform to help developers adopt Git and Mercurial.

Well the existing SourceTree app for OS X is free, and it looks like this Windows version will be too:
