Tower Reviews

Tower is the best Git client bar none - the speed, the reliability and the exceptionally great functionality (both in the features and their UX) just makes it a no-brainer purchase and use. I honestly believe anyone who's not using it is missing out on major productivity gains.

I wish sometimes there'd be more easier integrations with my editing tools, and file explorer - to quickly get to a repo or file I want to do something with.

Git Tower has been one of my go to tools for the last ~8 years or so now. I've played around with other apps over the years, but always end up coming back to Tower. The UI is extremely fine tuned and intuitive, while also enabling advanced tooling and handling of extremely complex setups, whatever your project calls for!

The only thing i've ran into recently, and this very likely is something to do with the project i've been working in, is i've randomly seen some interactive rebases get into a weird state where I have to jump into Terminal to fix the process.

At the start of my career, Git was just something that did NOT come to me naturally. It enabled me to learn while tackling complex rebase/merge issues while also just being nicer to look at.

I use the app maybe since I use Git, in one screen I have everything visually that I will need to have my work done.

Easy to use all my GIT applications like BitBucket, Githb GitLab, and many more in one place.

Also extremely helpful to resolve large merge conflicts, I think I can't merge them if not in Tower

I dont dislike anything in Tower, why there is a character min here?

There is no another program where I can resolve large merge conflicts.

- Easy to see stage or discard individual lines

- Easy to see what's going on

- Auto stash/restore when switching branches

- CMD+Z is a godlike feature

- Rare operations are a lot more intuitive than GIT flags

- Reflog explorer (but you really don't need it unless you really F up)

Nothing at all, but I dislike developers for looking down on people that uses a GUI for handling GIT.

The UI is clear, clean and efficient. The keyboard shortcuts are easy to learn and use. Can't think of a feature that is missing. Super stable and updated often

Really hard to come up with something negatibve about Git Tower. I would say that I am a fanboy :)

Way easier to use then command line GIT. Easier to learn for beginners in GIT but at the same time powerfull enough for advanced users

I love the simplicity and ease of use. I use it daily in my development workflow. It's fast and easy, making any git task simple and streamlined. I love the drag and drop cherry-pick feature and within two clicks, I can have a new branch. The GUI and visuals are spot on and really make managing a repo a dream.

I really don't have a downside. I have enjoyed everythign about Tower and will use it forever.

The ease of manging a git repo and any task that I could do from terminal, I do in Tower. The GUI makes it super simple and the speed.

I've used GitTower for as long as I can remember and I don't know where I'd be without it. It makes cumbersome command line tasks a breeze, being able to visually see your changes at a glance and keep and discard code at line level with just a few clicks makes using version control enjoyable.

Don't be a command line hero, help yourself get hours of your time back and just install GitTower!

Honestly, I don't have a bad word to say about the software. I've never had issues with it that weren't just user error!

Helps save time by focusing on the task in hand as opposed to battling with the command line.

Git tower just works. Adding my yubikey to sign my commits, done. Rebasing complex branches, in a breeze. Checking out a remote branch, one double click away. I've been using git tower for years and convinced many team members to use it too.

I wish I could easily jump between projects without openening another tab, something like a cmd+p as in vscode to open a known project.

I don't need to recall all the CLI commands to rebase, fixup, squash, or changing the commit message. Everything is one click away.

My favourite Git client that I've used daily for the last four years. Keeps daily tasks very simple while giving you a great overview over the commits you're making. The app is well documented and they also offer docs on Git itself.

Nothing, really happy overall. I would appreciate a good integrated merge conflict editor however.

Makes clean code commits easy without getting in the way.

I'm an experienced software engineer (20 years) and are fluent in git using the terminal. This is still my daily goto application for a number of reasons.

- Overview of all my local git repos

- Quick overview of all branches and the state of them

- Resolving conflicts (using external tool) is awesome

- Setting up tracks, pushing to selected remotes etc is super easy

- The diff view is fast and easy to use

No downsides at all. Happy to pay for this.

It makes working with git much faster.
