"Simple yet powerful Git client for everyday tasks"

5/5

What do you like best about Git Tower?

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.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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.

"Best Git app for Mac"

5/5

What do you like best about Git Tower?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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.

Thank you for your kind words, Davor! We're glad to hear that you find Tower useful in your Git workflow ✌️

We will look into ways to improve the Hooks integration.

"One of the best tools an engineer could ask for"

5/5

What do you like best about Git Tower?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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.

Thank you for your support over the years, Josh! We're glad that you appreciate Tower's intuitive and clean UI 🥳

Here's to another 8 years! Cheers 🥂

"Tower makes me feel like a git wizard"

5/5

What do you like best about Git Tower?

- 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.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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.

Thanks for the kind words, Makara! We're thrilled to hear that you find so many of Tower's features useful! 😎

"Intuitive git GUI"

4/5

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.

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)!

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're not using GitTower then you should be!"

5/5

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.

Thank you for your support, Philip! We're thrilled to hear that Tower is making your life easier! 🥳

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

5/5

What do you like best about Git Tower?

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. I love the drag and drop cherry-pick feature and within two clicks, I can have a new branch. The GUI and visuals are spot on and really make managing a repo a dream.

"The best git client for mac"

5/5

What do you like best about Git Tower?

Makes reviews and branch management super simple and clean. Covers 99% of your general git useage. Been many years since I've had to do anything of note from the command line, and I've never really missed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Can be a little slow when reviewing very large diffs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tower is the best Git client by far"

5/5

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

edit

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! ✌️

"Outstanding application for working with git"

5/5

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.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

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