"What else do you need?"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

Git tower has been my main driver for git for about ten years. Its ability to navigate a project, resolve conflicts, and even its merge tool integration with other clients is a godsend. Some of my peers spend an hour cleaning up a rebase where as with git tower, I can stream through 40 commits and 100s of conflicts in 30 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

It used to get confused when I would need to continue on a no-commit and id have to go to the command line, but that just got fixed it a recent update! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

"Tower will make you more efficient"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

I've been using Tower for 1.5 years and it's very easy to use. I highly recommend it, especially for someone who is new to programming and isn't comfortable with Git yet. I've been able to quickly spot merge conflicts, find what branch I'm on, switch to a new branch, etc and using Tower has even improved my knowledge in Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tower actually supports image diffing since v3. If you click on the file, you will see a Old/New comparison on the right. This works for PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, JPEG2000, and HEIC files :)

"My preferred GUI for git"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

I like that it's a native Mac app, which results in a very speedy app. Sometimes I do git stuff in the terminal, but I prefer Tower to get a nice visual overview of the changed files before committing and pushing. The diff viewer is very clear, so mostly I know in a glimpse of an eye if it's okay to commit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Found nothing to dislike in 5 years... :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I highly recommend Tower to anyone who values their time"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

Tower is one of my favourite tools - it does what all great software does; it takes a specific problem and fixes it.

Git is a great tool, and I can use it with the best of them via the command line. But it's tedious and time-consuming, and if you hit a problem rebasing or using multiple git accounts, you can end up spending a significant portion of your day messing around with it.

For me, my time is precious - if a tool can save me 30 minutes a day which I can then better use, you know, to build actual features - then I'm going to use it.

If you ever gotten lost in the weeds trying to find why you can't push a git commit, or looking for a piece of code you've stashed - give Tower a go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Nothing, it's great - potentially could have a better pricing system if you're buying multiple licenses for a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real developers save time" - what a quote! Thank you for the (super) kind words, Alexander 🙏 We're happy that Tower saves you time 😊

"Taking away that pesky command line"

It's gorgeous to look at. Right away you can tell a lot of effort went into the UI design—and when I'm looking to improve my workflow, this is my #1 priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Nothing major, really. It has a tiny learning curve that you'll get over in less than 30 minutes. It's straightforward and I like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pricey and Only Worth it for Some"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

You can use tower on both your laptop and desktop on same license. Using a DIFF in tower is far superior to using a DIFF in something like Sourcetree. This is an upgrade to the free version of git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Many will stick with the free version of git as it gets the job done. Unfortunately, it's also not better or maybe only slightly better than Sourcetree. Sourcetree customers will not switch to git tower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your feedback! Tower has many advanced features that Sourcetree does not provide. You can find a detailed comparison here: https://www.git-tower.com/compare/sourcetree/

"Git Tower: the "best" UI for Git on MacOs (and Windows)"
What do you like best about Git Tower?

The nice integration in the MacOS ecosystem and the support of most git features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

A full local and remote branches view with tags and commits like using "gitk --all" but having a nicer UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your review and for the suggestion, Luca! We're glad to have you with us! 🥳
