Yes, git supports windows in two ways

1. you can run it under cygwin

2. you can run the msysgit (I think that's it's name) which is a windows native implementation of git.

msysgit gets you git plus the full mingw and msys. There is also a git port with just enough msys stuff to function properly.

There's a native Java port of git at that. See http://www.jgit.org/. It's
used by Eclipse, amongst others.

Git on Windows

For Windows users, the git-sharp implementation of Git may be useful. It is a reimplementation of the code in C# and might fit more easily into Windows-flavoured .NET applications. I don't believe any GUI front end has yet been written, however.
