GitExtensions is a standalone Git repository tool, a Visual Studio 2008 / 2010 / 2012 / 2013 add-in and a shell extension.
JetBrains Fork adds a few features which have not been taken into the main project yet:
- OpenSSH keys wizard — user interface for generating SSH keys and setting them up for the first use
- OpenSSH interactive prompt fix — as the terminal is fully functional for git/ssh commands, prompts are operational
- Shallow Clone — don't download full history of a large repo
- Sparse Checkout — don't write out all of the repo files into the working copy
- Console Emulator — git commands are run in a real embedded terminal, which allows them to be fully operational; the main window also has a terminal
- Performance fixes for repos with large history
- Minor fixes
