Gitorious vs TortoiseSVN: What are the differences?

Developers describe Gitorious as "Git hosting and collaboration software that you can install yourself". Gitorious provides open source infrastructure for hosting open source projects that use Git. The central entity in Gitorious is the project, which contains one or more top-level repositories and any repositories managed by the project's contributors. On the other hand, TortoiseSVN is detailed as "The coolest interface to (Sub)version control". It is a really easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows. It is based on Apache™ Subversion (SVN)®; TortoiseSVN provides a nice and easy user interface for Subversion.Since it's not an integration for a specific IDE like Visual Studio, Eclipse or others, you can use it with whatever development tools you like, and with any type of file.

Gitorious and TortoiseSVN belong to "Code Collaboration & Version Control" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Gitorious are:

• Project hosting
• Hosting of official project repositories
• Hosting of project repository clones

On the other hand, TortoiseSVN provides the following key features:

• Easy to use. all commands are available directly from the Windows Explorer
• Powerful commit dialog. integrated spell checker for log messages
