Does TortoiseGit work with PortableGit-x.x.x.x-previewyyyyyy? What are compatible git versions for TortoiseGit?

TortoiseGit (as of 2.14) requires a command-line git.exe.

It works with a variety of different “git.exe providers”. Known to work are:

You can mix x86 and x64 versions of Git.exe and TortoiseGit. However, x64 TortoiseGit will only run on x64 Windows, same for the 32-bit/x86 version of TortoiseGit which will only run on x86 Windows.

TortoiseGit tries to find a Git for Windows installation or tries to find a git.exe on the PATH environment variable. If git.exe is not on your PATH, you can also set the path to git.exe manually in TortoiseGit settings dialog on the general page.
