Easy to use

Since TortoiseSVN is a Windows shell extension, it integrates in the file explorer. That means you can use it with the tool you are most familiar with.
  • all commands are available directly from the windows explorer.You can choose which entries TortoiseSVN should show in the top context menu and which it should put in the submenu.
  • only commands that make sense for the selected file/folder are shown. You won't see any commands that you can't use in your situation.
  • See the status of your files directly in the Windows explorer. Inside the Windows Explorer, TortoiseSVN shows you the state of the files with overlay icons. The following screenshot shows all available overlays, but usually you will only see a few of them.

    If you use the Windows Explorer in details view, TortoiseSVN can add additional columns so you have all the information available:
  • descriptive dialogs, constantly improved due to user feedback
  • allows moving files by right-dragging them in the windows explorer.
