Git - How to enable Git showing folder and file status' in explorer?

So I started working seriously with Git only at the beginning of this week. While I am using Git in college, I clone my repository down and I am able to see a little green circle with a tick next to my project folder indicating that everything is up to date and no changes have been made. When I make changes the little circle changes red indicating that changes have been made. Here is an example image of this:

Git Status Overlays for Explorer

When I am at home working with Git, I do not see this status' on explorer at all and I was wondering how I can get this on my computer?

Hope it's not a silly question, just can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Thanks for your time :)

You probably have TortoiseGit installed on your college computer. It is an Explorer Shell extension that lets you manage your Git repository from Explorer. It adds icon overlays, among other features.
