TortoiseGit is a Windows-based graphical interface for the popular open source version control system Git. It is an easy to use version control client that is based on the popular Subversion (SVN) version control system. It provides users with a simple and intuitive graphical interface to manage source code and collaborate with other users. TortoiseGit allows users to easily view changes, create branches, commit changes, and merge branches. Additionally, TortoiseGit provides users with graphical tools to manage their local repository and to interact with remote repositories. It also allows users to easily access the command line features of Git and to quickly search for repository changes. TortoiseGit makes it easy for developers to keep track of their source code and collaborate with others.
I have no integration with Nautilus, but it is a very good tool to manage git repositories with an excellent interface, integration with GitHub, Bitbucket and more, very good for git management flow (branches, commits, more than 2 remote repositories, etc.) .
Missing features, such as cherry-picking, discard lines, stored file blocks, etc.
Open source, full-featured, simple and intuitive, lightweight.
Since the initial development of SVN, the Tortoise family has been based on "Shell Integration", only Rabbit offers the same native interface. Shell integration is key because it means you don't have to learn another tool, it simply integrates with your current experience.
Discontinued GitX was last updated on October 2, 2009, according to its GitHub repository.
GitX only works at the repository level. You cannot check in a single directory or file.

TortoiseGit is a lightweight shell integration, while SourceTree is a full GUI client. All the same Git features are present, but the way it is provided is completely different.
