The simplest way to use GitHub on Windows 7 with GUI

I tried some git clients, I read loads tutorials. Now I am going to write about simpliest and easiest way to commit, pull, push and clone code files using Git respository and particularly GitHub.com.

I tryed these 4:
Cygwin + git + ssh. It worked. But Its console based.
msysgit + putty stuff. Partly worked. Issue with ssh certificates
TortoiseGit - Tortoise didnt work for me too. Only  clone function.
GitExtensions - It's using msysgit  + Kdiff external programs. Its GUI based interface. But I couldn't make it work.


After these trials. I removed all software. Deleted all folders and C:\users\username\.ssh folder where rsa keys are stored.
