"Best version control"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Git Tower?

It's easy to use interface is great. You only have to focus on the daily task instead of focusing on Git or how the Git work. It's the security and efficiency is awesome. One can easily relay on Git tower Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

I don't like the pricing of the Git tower. At this price there are many free tool which done the job. The pricing is not competitive. I think cloud storage is bit low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Don't know how I lived without it!"
5/5
What do you like best about Git Tower?

Before being introduced to Tower by a coworker, I was a strictly command-line Git user. It has changed my working life, and given me far more confidence in using Git. The user interface is intuitive, and I am seldom in any doubt about what I need to do for any given operation.

As an aside: I set up an alternate working environment on Ubuntu desktop recently, and decided to use Github Desktop for my Git client. It is so weak compared with Tower! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

It's a little difficult to search for a branchβ€”and I have a ton of branches. I end up doing it in the terminal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for your feedback, Mark! You can use our Quick Actions command (CMD+SHIFT+A) to quickly search for/checkout other branches.

"A Simple and Great Git GUI"
5/5
What do you like best about Git Tower?

I like that it's easy to visually see which branch I am on, view and stage lines, chunks, or files, and keyboard shortcuts make pushing and pulling effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

The downsides of using Tower are limited, in my opinion. The one that stands out most to me is that I have become so accustomed to using Git Tower's GUI for years, and I find it difficult to remember the proper git commands needed on the command line. However, a quick search can have me back up and running when Git Tower is not at my disposal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

5/5
What do you like best about Git Tower?

I like the simplified git reflog mapped to undo/redo keybord shortcuts. It intuitively groups multiple git commands into a single undo/redo action. A great escape hatch when you make a mistake.

I like the ability to view Git LFS image diffs.

I like the simple drag and drop rebase and rebase --onto options, and the new force push with lease button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Unable to filter git commit history view to only my commits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for the detailed review, Tim! We're glad to know that you're benefiting from Tower's advanced features :)

Regarding the possibility to "filter git commit history view to only my commits". In Tower you can filter by author, which should do the trick. Please let us know if something is missing!

"The best Git client I've ever used"
5/5
What do you like best about Git Tower?

It just feels right. Tower isn't a bloated and messy Electron app. And being a Mac User, having native software that blends in perfectly with my workflow is key. It's much more intutitive than other Git clients I tried - and even more powerful.

The GitHub integration is very useful too, and removed some of my annoying application hopping.

Git Tower also offers a free license to students, from which offer I got to know the software in the first place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Git Tower?

Nothing, really. Except that it may became such a substantial part of my workflow that I basically forgot how to use Git as a CLI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for the flattering review, Tobias! Glad you enjoy our GitHub integration and appreciate Tower's native experience πŸ₯³

"What else do you need?"
5/5
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.

Response from Bruno Brito of Git Tower

Thank you for the kind words, Kyle! We're very happy to learn how Tower helps you work more efficiently 😎

We hope you continue to enjoy Tower for many more years to come πŸ™

"Tower will make you more efficient"
5/5
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"
5/5
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.
