Which free GIT interface do you prefer? SourceTree, TortoiseGit...

Soon I will have to start working with a team that have to start using GIT for the first time. I am an external programmer (currently I don't have any kind of access to their server), they will want to have the source code in their local server repository. Multiple programmers must work in the same project at once. It's way too much to learn the console commands now and a GUI interface will be better. It must be free, by now they don't plan to use it except for the coming projects (6 or 8 months max). It must be GIT, as the language/environment we use accept mostly that one foundation server or subversion, but we need it to be free and to have a local vs remote repositories. I've seen SourceTree and TortoiseGit as good candidates, but... what would you all recommend? As always, thank you all!

TBH? VS Code's github integration is my go to.

Git extension in VS Code, or GitHub desktop as backup

Visual Studio 2022's git interfaces are top-notch and make dealing with git a breeze.
There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

I've used TortoiseGIT most of the time. I tried different standalone app (gitkraken ... ) and always got back to TortoiseGIT.

I've used SourceTree to manage a legacy project (pre-Visual Studio integration with git). It does a decent job, but I don't like the fact that later versions require registration with Atlassian. So far, Atlassian has been good about not sending me spam, but who knows...

I have always used TortoiseSVN not the GIT, I now am curious...
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I use TortoiseGit and also tools provided by VSCode and Visual Studio. The VSCode/Visual Studio tools are quite OK for working within a repo but I like Tortoise "bird's eye" view of all repos. Also move/rename operations are very convenient in ToritoiseGit (right-click drag).
