Can I use the Git and TortoiseGit command line tools at the same time?

Question

Sometimes git information is more detailed and simpler when using git - bash than when using TortoiseGit. Therefore, I would like to use git - bash for very specific problems (for example, creating a branch / check at the same time and making unspecified changes).

git checkout -b my_new_branch git commit 

Can I work with TortoiseGit without problems after that? And vice versa?

Answer 1

Yes. tortoisegit is just a user interface to command line tools that simply interpret the .git subdisk in your project directory. You can use them as in one project, although simultaneous actions can cause problems, I'm not sure.
