    the title of your question is misleading: you are not searching a "tutorial", you are searching for "install instructions". i would change the title and the question to reflect that.

  • ...use bitbucket.org for private repos. In Github, they cost but not in Bitbucket.org so easy to test git for example on school work etc.

I personally use msysGit. What's a better git client than git itself? (Don't forget to git config --global color.diff always.)

For Visual Studio integration, try Git Extensions and check out this StackOverflow post: Using Git with Visual Studio

Here's another guide to using Git on Windows. msysGit appears to be fine, although I prefer to use TortoiseGit - but then I'm not really a full-fledged programmer.
