TortoiseSVN equivalent commands for TortoiseGit

I am familiar with TortoiseSVN, but not with TortoiseGit So am looking at basic equivalents for TortoiseGit.

Like for the common things we do;

SVN > Update
SVN > Commit
SVN > Add

What are the similar GUI equivalents for TortoiseGit ?

GIT SCM is different from SVN

In SVN you have the options of Add, Commit, Update. Add in SVN is only used to add new files to the repository, when preparing for a commit. Commit in SVN will allow you to update the remote repository with your changes. Update will let you know if there are changes in the remote and update your working copy.

In GIT you will have Add to Index, Commit, Push to Upstream, Fetch from Upstream, Pull. Add in GIT is used to submit any change to any file (including new files) to the Git index, in preparation for a subsequent commit. Commit in GIT doesn't update the remote repository, you will need to Push your changes to the remote in order to update. Fetch will let you know if you have any changes in the remote and Pull will actually update your working copy with the changes in the remote.
