If I am working on a project from a hotel computer, is there a way to access a git repository (gitorious) using a web based client? I have a portable c++ compiler for the coding part, but I need to download and commit files to git without the ability to install git software. A portable git client would also work.

Updating the new link to download portable Git for Windows archive file -

https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases

========

Update: 2015-09

It seems like msysgit is now redundant. Please see this - msysGit vs Git for Windows

The portable git 2.x version is available here - https://git-scm.com/download/win

A download starts automatically. You may cancel that one. Instead , there is a link to the "thumbdrive version" on the page.

Alternatively - https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases

    What does this answer mean? It's just a link. – SabreWolfy Feb 03 '13 at 09:32

    This answer does not provide a web based client, instead it provides a link to msysgit. Msysgit is a collection of files, which give you git functionality, similar to that of linux. After installing msysgit, you can check out files via the command line, like "git clone git://example.com/git/filename" :) – Timofey Drozhzhin May 15 '13 at 22:15

    msysgit is retired. It is superseded by [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win). – jpmc26 Feb 04 '16 at 21:53

The portable msysgit runs direct from the USB stick. There are a few 'need to know' aspects such as portable-git-windows-setting-home-environment-variable and stackoverflow/fix-msysgit-portable-home-location - a Google search will pick them up.
