Git Tools
Git Gui
To start a graphical interface to Git, go to Tools > Git > Git Tools > Git Gui.

Gitk
To start the commit viewer for Git, go to Tools > Git > Git Tools > Gitk. You can also start the tool to view commits in the current document or in the folder that has the current document. To specify arguments for running Gitk, go to Preferences > Version Control > Git.

To start the application, go to Tools > Git > Git Tools > Repository Browser.
Git Bash
To start Git Bash, go to Tools > Git > Git Tools > Git Bash.
