Portability advantages
Since there is no installation required, you can just download and extract the archive files to any local hard disk and directly execute Git just clicking on it. There is also the option to save it to a USB flash disk or other removable (temporary) storage unit, in order to launch it on any PC here and there easily and without previous installation. As like most installers we install on windows, Portable Git does not add new entries to the Windows registry or Start menu, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal. Because they are not installed in the system, they are just standalone.
Rich and simple-to-activate commands
As Git is a console application, all its options as well as functionalities are accessible from a Command Prompt window. Thus, it is possible to add file contents to the index, locate changes which introduced bugs via binary searches, list, create and delete branches, record changes to the repository, via commit logs, join together two or more development histories, and many others. A user name and email address can be assigned in order to restrict the access of other users.
