    TortoiseGit is a lightweight shell integration, while SourceTree is a full blown GUI client. All of the same Git functionality is present, but the way it is provided is entirely different.

    Haven't integration with Nautilus, but is a very nice tool for manage git repositories with excellent interface, integration with GitHub, Bitbucket and more, very good for admin flow of git (branches, commits, 2+ remote repositories, a so on).
