Honestly, nothing. Can't fault it in any way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Honestly? I cant think of a single thing I dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

- Easy to see stage or discard individual lines

- Easy to see what's going on

- Auto stash/restore when switching branches

- CMD+Z is a godlike feature

- Rare operations are a lot more intuitive than GIT flags

- Reflog explorer (but you really don't need it unless you really F up) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
