SourceTree Reviews & Product Details

SourceTree's graphical view of Git repositories is a must-have when working with any Git repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I rarely use graphical tools like SourceTree for rebasing or doing any other complex Git operations. I prefer to use the GitBash command line for that, although I will look at SourceTree even during the process of handling rebase conflicts to get a better view of what is Git is doing behind the scenes.

Biggest downside is that it does not have the smarts to know when to automatically refresh its view. I have to hit F5 frequently when I've done anything to the Git repo such as committing, pushing, or fetching from the remote repo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Staging, commit and push functionalities are so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Conflicts solving functionality need to make more easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about sorcetree is that you can directly link your Microsoft Visual Studio to the source tree by just log-in via your Microsoft account and you are ready to go. You just have to save your code in VS and it automatically reflects in SourceTree you do not need to save there your code as well. You can make a copy of your code and can apply that copy to another branch by stash. (Stash is a virtual copy) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, sometimes it is very irritating when you commit your code multiple times and after that when you want to find particular files you have to cheery pick the lines which are very irritating due to multiple commits. The other thing is if you accidentally discard your files you can not retrieve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High quality performance, very user friendly, minimal bugs, very useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing all is well, nothing bad from my side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SourceTree has a very lightweight interface overall. Git can be challenging to wrap your head around, and command-line can be intimidating, especially for new developers. SourceTree does an excellent job of providing a visual basis for how source control works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their menus don't offer the best context options, at least on the macOS version. Sometimes when I'm working in a hotfix, it will let me take actions that inadvertently mess up my working environment. Their "yours" vs "theirs" merge logic can be a little confusing when you are bringing a feature branch down into a remote environment and dealing with merge conflicts from multiple sources.

I like the way sourcetree shows the branches and the origin of each branch. It gives a very good idea for maintaining multiple branches with sourcetree. Very user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's no real benefit other than being a GUI tool. For a experienced software engineer, sourcetree will not be much useful, since he'll better off with command line Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like sourcetree because it has a great intuitive interface for most git commands and is easy for users to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest disadvantages is the time it takes to start, there are even some functions (like stash) that take time unlike other GUI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using a UI to control GIT is significantly better than CMD. Plus, its excellent that it connects to other Atlassian products like JIRA. I know it works with github as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could be a bit more user-friendly. I find it a bit clunky. Plus, I have an error where I need to log in every time. Other issues are that i would like to see further integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SourceTree is great at visualizing your branches, commit history, tags, and other actions that you perform on Git. I do a lot of command-line processing with Git, and Git's built-in feature to visualize the branches and history is adequate but basic. SourceTree gives a great overall view of the entire commit history, as well as allowing you to see a snapshot of the project state just by selecting a point in time.

Trying to do basic commands such as branching and merging can be a little tricky at first until you get the hang of it. I tried managing a repository solely with SourceTree, and I ended up using SourceTree for visualization and command-line Git for executing most processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
