What problems is Git Tower solving and how is that benefiting you?

No matter whether you're working on your own on a small project or if you're maintaining a huge monorepo with many projects and contributors: Git Tower will boost your productivity. It will even improve the quality of your code as it makes it easy to review your changes before comitting and to compose meaningful commits.

As other Git clients, Git Tower makes Git accessible for new users. But the true secret of Git Tower is, that it is a loyal companion even for experienced Git users. In fact it helped me to understand Git better and to become a better Git user – also when using Git on the console.

Git Tower is one of the few tools I really use every single day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you so much for your kind words, René! We’re thrilled to hear that Tower is one of the few tools you rely on every day, and that it makes working with Git easier for you! ✌️

What do you like best about Git Tower?

As a long-time user of GitTower, I can say it's the gold standard for Git GUI clients (I've tried most of them haha). This stellar native macOS app has been my go-to for nearly eight years, from my college days to my professional career.

The seamless integration with GitHub and GitLab is a standout feature. It's so efficient that I've completely forgotten what the web interfaces for pull requests look like. For power users, the well-designed keyboard shortcuts are a productivity game-changer.

GitTower's customer support is exceptional. They're always available and have consistently provided great experiences over the years. Perhaps most importantly, GitTower has demystified Git for me – there's no feature I'm afraid to use anymore.

If you're looking for a robust, user-friendly Git client that grows with your skills, GitTower is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

I miss support for stacked pull requests, but that feature is already in development! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Git Tower solving and how is that benefiting you?

Git Tower makes working with git more approachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your support throughout the years, Bartosz! We are honored to have Tower acknowledged as the gold standard of Git clients by you 🙏

We are actively working on Stacked PR support, and Tower 12 will introduce some features related to it. We hope you find them helpful!

Here's to 8 more years! 🥂

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Tower has been my go-to Git client for over a decade now. When I was early in my career, tower helped me under stand git concepts very quickly, as I am more of a visual learner. I've never turned back. I've recommended it to many colleagues over the years. The most used/useful feature for me has to be stash management. I use this feature daily, and it helps keep an easy/visual record of work I've done while switching branches. I also love their merge conflict tooling. I've always just used the default firemerge integrationand its great. I love how easy it is to see difs and choose what you want to keep. Tower makes me feel like a Git power user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

There are a few cases where I can't do operations within tower, for instance, the company I work at uses nix-shell to do some dependency management (including git hooks) and there's no way to tell tower to execute commands within that environment (at least that I'm aware of). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Git Tower solving and how is that benefiting you?

Git is a complex piece of software. There's lots of commands to memorize and can be hard to parse visually. Tower makes all of that very simple. I spend less energy thinking about git and more energy on solving problems and building software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Wow, a decade! That's so nice to read, Alex! 🤩

Thank you for the kind words — we're delighted to learn that we've made Git easier to use! If you enjoy using stashing, you might also appreciate one of Tower's exclusive features: Snapshots, which were introduced in Tower 9 (https://www.git-tower.com/blog/tower-mac-9/) ✌️

We appreciate your support, Alex. Here's to another 10 years! 🥂

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Great shortcuts including amazing CMD+Z support, proper rebase support, so easy to do basic things like amend, squash, fixup, commit or message edits, HEAD reset, etc, and it's just a very solid piece of software, always reliably delivering value.

This is basically the first software I get every time I join a new company. I've been using it for ~10 years and it's been amazing to see how the product consistently evolved over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

The only downside is that you have to pay for it, but it's always pretty easy for me to convince my company to pay. Plus, they have a great free trial and they'll extend it for you if you need it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Git Tower solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes dealing with Git an easy and pleasant experience, regardless of how deep your Git knowledge is — and if you're still learning Git, it's a great tool to help you with that as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

"Objectively the best Git client out there" — oh, we love that tagline! 😍

Thank you so much for your kind words and support over the years, Fred! We are thrilled to know that we hold such a high place on your list!

What do you like best about Git Tower?

I've been using Git Tower for the last 2 years and I couldn't see myself ever not having it in my toolbox now - I use it almost every single day. It 99% of my git usage seemless, easy and the UI is exceptional. I recommend it to all of the developers I speak to! Not to mention on the very few times I've needed to contact customer support, they have always been super quick and helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Git can be super complicated. You can read dozens of books on it in order to master it. Or, you can use an easy-to-use GUI client like Git Tower. I am using it on macOS, where it integrates beautifully. It especially makes managing branches, merge conflicts and stashes very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

I have not found any big issue in my day-to-day work, just the GitHub integration un-configured itself once (which was easy to fix though) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Git Tower solving and how is that benefiting you?

Git Tower makes managing and switching between different git branches easy and clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wow, we should use your quote for Marketing! 🤩

Thanks for the kind words, Lukas — we're glad you find Tower much easier to use!

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Packed with tons of features, but all very cleverly placed to easy and intiutive interface. Easy to switch between different accounts when working for different projects. Even I use CLI also, I preffer Tower for changes review and staging and all branching tasks, it gives me more security in what I want to do then doing it in cli. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

There aren't many, I would maybe say that Hooks tasks could be maybe improved, especially pre-hooks that work natively in other editors here require little work to get them working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Git Tower solving and how is that benefiting you?

Worry free work in a big team of people with lots of branches and commits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your kind words, Davor! We're glad to hear that you find Tower useful in your Git workflow ✌️

We will look into ways to improve the Hooks integration.

What do you like best about Git Tower?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Git Tower solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your support over the years, Josh! We're glad that you appreciate Tower's intuitive and clean UI 🥳

Here's to another 8 years! Cheers 🥂

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.
