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.

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

Some may say command-line git isn't that difficult, but sometimes it's nice to have a visual GUI representation of what you're working on. Tower provides an intuitive interface for git that makes it easy to see what you're working on, inspect your commit history in a graph, and do a lot of general git things that make it a pleasure to use. It even handles some more advanced git things relatively well, but for complex git commands, you'll want to use the command line. 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)!

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.

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

Helps save time by focusing on the task in hand as opposed to battling with the command line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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! ✌️

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Easily see all of the changes I've made to a file, line by line. Git Tower highlights all deleted lines of code in Red and all added lines in green, making it easy to see every change I've made since my last commit and review them before committing and pushing them to the main branch. 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! ✌️
