What do you like best about Git Tower?

The graphic interface is simple to use and easy to set up. The ability to follow git flow patterns makes this software one of our most integral parts of our internal process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

I wish it had a better merge tool built in. It now uses a diff tool which I defined in the settings, but it would be nice if it would intelligently walk you through merge conflicts. Otherwise, no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Git Tower:

This tool is great! We use it on all of our projects and across multiple teams. I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Git tower allows us to define a process around our path to product release. We can follow the git flow pattern to define features, hotfixes, releases, and more to establish a context with out branches. It also integrates seamlessly with git which makes working with a team an easy to manage task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Tower is the best graphical user interface for git. But wait, I am a geek, and the command line is my best tool... well yes but not when I need to look at git logs, git diffs, git blame, or when I should manage staging partial changes. The nice aspect is that I do not have to choose, I can use Tower and the command line together. And I should admit that Tower is taking progressively the advantage over the command line. The UI is slim and efficient for the purpose. No fuzz. I could have used my IDE for the purpose, and I do sometime, but Tower is far more tailored to the task. The best feature is probably your ability to selectively stage or discard changes. And having a UI similar to GitHub on your desktop for browsing project is a real advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

The search feature in the logs is fast but work like a filter, and what I need is to find that commit in its context. Maybe I missed that feature, but this is very annoying to have a filter in place of search for that purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Git Tower:

If you are using Git, you need Tower ! This tools is force sure tailored to your need. The price might seems expensive, but you will never regret it. Reviewing your commit with Tower is so nice that you will quickly wonder how you work without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a developer, I need to dig into project history every day, and Tower allows me to do it better, faster and with more fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Git Tower has a user-friendly interface and makes the often complicated git commands a breeze. It simplifies the process of managing several different repos as well, which is a big feature for freelancers who are working on more than one project at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

There are a couple bugs I haven't been able to figure out, namely that the DiffMerge tool doesn't open when I try to solve merge conflicts. I'm not sure why this is and I haven't been able to find a solution. I don't need to use it too often though, so it's more of an annoyance than a huge problem.

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

Git Tower allows designers and developers to get up and running quickly with a git platform (we use Github at our company). Git and the commands involved with git are notoriously tricky, especially since the native way to accomplish anything is through the command line, which many people aren't comfortable with.

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Branching, comparing, pushing, merging everything is perfect, you can manage many repositories easily, also the website tutorials are AWESOME. Let me tell you: if you want to know which is the best git client, is this one. Do not look for something else. Easy to install on Mac, it can be really helpful for new git users who do not know about all the git commands. The interface is simply perfect. The visibility of the options is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

The price is too high, it should be more accessible for people around the world, I have used the trial version and it was great but I can not afford it because my currency sucks. I do not know if it's possible to export diffs between branches using PDF reports, but it will be nice to have. I will like to have access to a linux application. I do not like there is no way to run custom git commands on this client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Git Tower:

Please watch the videos online, they teach you everything from creating a repository to manage branches, they are all very simple to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I solved my needs on tagging repos and creating branches easily, I also can show the difference between commits to my collaborators. Git Tower makes your daily git process really simple, some times you forgot what are the commands to do some tasks and here comes this app which solves this issue.

It did take a while to go from using the terminal to using a physical git tool but I love being able to see all of my repos in one place and handling merge conflicts like a champ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

It took me a while to get the hang of it. I wish there was a Git Tower 101 documentation, or maybe I just missed that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Git Tower:

Read documentation and test out a few other products like this before buying. They have a pretty long trial too but definitely worth the money to invest in a tool like this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Handling merge conflicts is amazing, I like that I can merge things into my branches and it's saved so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
