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.

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.

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.
