<li><a href="../putty/putty.html">PuTTY</a>.You need this to generate and to use ssh keys on Windows. Otherwise none of git, scp, ftp or rsync will work. It includes command line tools ssh, scp
(pscp) and sFTP (psftp). The <a href="https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html">PuTTY</a> installation includes puttygen and pagent which you also need. Version 0.77 was released on 2022-05-27.

set of command line tools which are an alternative to PuTTY. It also includes scp and sftp. It integrates well with Github for Windows and enables you to
use rsync over ssh. NB use this Microsoft documented install method which puts the executables in <var>windows\system32\openssh\</var>.
[This is so new that none of the other troggle documentation refers to it: all those other pages need to be rewritten to use this
instead of or as an alternative to PuTty/Pageant.]

"GitLens")which render git branches graphically. Also available for Linux.

<li><a href="https://www.gitkraken.com/">GitKraken</a> - Very pretty GUI interface to git, also Linux version.
Times-out for our server unless you buy it but free for university people.

<p>You will definitely want the
<a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.githistory">"Git History" extension</a>
and probably the "GitLens" extension too.
<p>It is entirely feasible (and on a slow machine, recommended) to use VS Code only for git management, and using a faster Windows-native editor,
such as Notepad++, for actually editing code and text.
