- 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

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Nothing at all, but I dislike developers for looking down on people that uses a GUI for handling GIT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive git GUI"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

While it's important to know git command line basics, having a good GUI to visually see your working directory and changes is valuable to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

If you're not an organization that qualifies for a discount, you might find the yearly subscription hard to swallow, especially when there are other comparable options out there without cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your review! We're glad that you appreciate Tower's intuitive and clean UI 🥳

We would appreciate it if you could let us know which advanced Git operations you still rely on using the CLI for (support@git-tower.com)!

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're not using GitTower then you should be!"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your support, Philip! We're thrilled to hear that Tower is making your life easier! 🥳

We hope you continue to enjoy using Tower for many more years to come ✌️

"The Absolute Best and Simplest - Elegantly Designed"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don't have a downside. I have enjoyed everythign about Tower and will use it forever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best git client for mac"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

Makes reviews and branch management super simple and clean. Covers 99% of your general git useage. Been many years since I've had to do anything of note from the command line, and I've never really missed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Can be a little slow when reviewing very large diffs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the kind words, Benjamin! 🤩

Here's to many more years without having to use the Command Line! 😁

"Tower is the best Git client by far"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for the kind words, Tamás! We are delighted to hear that you enjoy Tower's features 🥳

Regarding the integrations you suggested, which we appreciate: you can use Tower's Quick Open (⌘ + ⇧ + O) to quickly navigate to different repositories and Tower's Quick Actions (⌘ + ⇧ + A) to quickly look for project files and open them with your preferred external editor (among many other actions).

We hope you find these tips useful! ✌️

"Outstanding application for working with git"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

No downsides at all. Happy to pay for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My daily driver for any git related work"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for the kind words, Armin! I'm glad to know that you trust Tower enough to recommend it to your team 🙏

Regarding your suggestion, which we appreciate: we actually have a Command Palette. You can use Quick Open (CMD+SHIFT+O) to quickly navigate to a different project. And you can use Quick Actions (CMD+SHIFT+A) to perform operations such as switching branches, inspecting files and commits, or even changing themes.

We hope you find these tips useful and that you continue to enjoy using Tower ✌️

"User friendly interface now available for GitHub"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

This is an amazing tool that brings all of GitHub's functionality to an extremely user friendly interface. I started coding not too long ago. GitHub is clearly the industry standard for version control, and it is extremely powerful, however using the command line for GitHub has been extremely daunting for someone with not so much experience. Git Tower brings all the possibilities of GitHub to an interface that just makes sense. I'm able to update code and create branches and look at all of my changes extremely easily before checking them into my main branch and sharing them with the people with whom I'm programming. I Highly recommend Git Tower for any programmer, especially Junior programmers like myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

I'll update this when I find something negative about it. So far I haven't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your review, Jonathan! Glad we made Git and GitHub easier to use 😎

Good luck with your coding journey! We hope you continue to enjoy using Tower for many more years to come! ✌️
