github

i've been experimenting with github as my personal code rep.. and it has been a bit of a disaster with windows.

i've used Subversion, CVS, and Perforce in the past.. none were as annoying to use as github.

i've figured out the PGP part, although my workstation no longer lets me check in, and after searching around it turns out that github bash is using putty which is not that reliable and should be configured with something else..

i was not able to configure it with windows shell extension for a nice visual of what is part of the repository, what is modified, and easy check ins, and easy pushes..

has anyone successfully configured some kind of windows shell client and can efficiently and quickly synchronize various machines?

It just seems to be more pain to use than it is worth..
