Smooth, macOS-like (design language-wise).

Pros

I like the clean, intuitive UI, great UX and ease of cherry-picking and doing interactive rebases. All of that makes it a pretty powerful tool in a sleek package.

Cons

Not much really. Poor performance with large git repositories, occasional bugs (UI and git-related).

Alternatives considered

[Git](https://www.capterra.com/p/177211/Git/)

Reasons for choosing Tower

It's more of a complementary tool to what I've been using via CLI.

Tower has been a great tool for me. I don't have any real problems, and haven't encountered an easier source management tool yet.

Pros

It is very easy to set up a new repository and link it with GitHub, BitBucket, or whatever repo you need. Most git actions are very easy and intuitive compared to other software I've used/seen.

Cons

The only issue I've had is with switching between active branches, the stashing isn't very intuitive and needing to manually stash untracked files is fairly annoying.

Generally it is great (fine) and I will continue to use it on mac. In other environments we sting to commandline. But everytime it is possible I go back to Tower since it makes things easier, more clear and e.g. diffs are more clear to me here in the app then in online.

Pros

Compared to integrated source code solutions Tower brings a nice interface which is disconnected from your IDE. So even for people who are not proficient with git commands the app makes using versioning a breeze. Creating a repo? There is an interface for that. Merging branches - there is UI for that. Staging? The is UI for that. All commands are available in some sort of interface so it makes versioning easier even for newcommers.

Cons

At some point the app messed up with encoding of files and broke our deployment scripts in GitHub. Plus there is no clear workflow, so user can actually press buttons and hope for the best. Guidelines would be great.

Reasons for choosing Tower

It seemed more robust and mature than other products.

I like Tower and I admit that it is a very powerful app. I use it by requirement and I have to force myself to be very careful with it because I have seen unspeakable butchery happening with some repos due to a moment of lesser attention. I have a good and powerful machine but still Tower lags with it. I like it but for my every day use I lean on one more app which I never had glitches with.

Pros

Clear when it comes to commit history. Wide range of features to use but you need to be experienced to use them without making a mess of it.

Cons

Sluggish with large projects to the point of freezing.

Tower helps me handle all my daily git workflows; no need to open the terminal at all. I"m much faster working with git in Tower than I would be in the terminal. Especially when doing selective commits.

Pros

Git tower is the best git UI tool I know. It makes working with multiple branches, multiple git repositories, cherry-picking commits easy. I've been using it for more than five years now, and there is no other git tool that better fits my mental model of git. From the start on, I loved working with Tower. You can do nearly everything you can with git on the command line and much more, i.e. comparing branches or working with pull requests.

Cons

There is nothing I really dislike about Tower. But I would wish for some new features regarding pull requests i.e. assigning reviewers or adding comments in code

It's amazing. One of the best Git clients I've ever used!

Pros

\- It's super easy to use; - Has a superb UI/UX; - You can perform complex tasks quite easily (ex. rebase, force push with lease); - Has a very nice diffing tool;

Cons

I've struggled a bit to find this one: on large projects, the performance drops a bit (the UI lags a bit in terms of updates).

We have used the Tower GitHub client in a Neuroscience research group setting for the last 4 years. Our users have differing levels of programming familiarity. The graphical user interface of Tower is perfect for this type of mixed skill environment. Using Tower we have been able to effectively share and manage code without getting individual users bogged down in the intricacies of git.

Pros

Graphical Interface Ease of use Complex mergers and rebases LaTeX sync

Cons

Minor issues getting up and running with 2FA
