How to get BitBucket to Work on Windows XP Operating System?

Question

How do I get Bitbucket to work on Windows XP Operating System??

I can't download SourceTree because SourceTree doesn't support Windows XP. I downloaded TortoiseGit but when I tried to run it, it says that I need to download Windows Service Pack. I have the latest version- Windows Service Pack 3 so when I try to update, there is nothing to update.

Thanks

I have just managed to get BitBucket work on Windows XP. You should install Git for Windows (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.7.0.windows.1/Git-2.7.0-32-bit.exe) Make sure Git Gui is installed. After that, just open Git Gui and clone repository (local to BitBucket or vise versa). Location of the remote repository on BitBucket should be the link shown in the overview page on the BitBucket site. You can choose HTTPS or SSH link of your BitBucket repository.
