The use of a user-friendly UI was much simpler for our team than constantly entering instructions into the GIT command line. Because the product had the features we needed and was packaged so beautifully, we decided to buy it. Pros Investigating repositoriesEasy to use UIConflicts between merges are beautifully highlighted. Cons Really, I've had no luck. I have used it for five years, and I haven't missed anything.

I have used it for the last 5 years and it has really helped to simplify Git commits and help me fully utilize all of the Git capabilities Pros It makes using Git really simple - great tool to be able to visualize your commits, merges and PRs Cons Some more complicated elements like re-basing branches or reverting commits can be hard to do on source tree - improvements could be made to the way these items are displayed Review Source AS Andres S. Senior Software Engineer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adequate but janky git client" November 19, 2023 4.0 It's a mostly positive experience. I don't like Sourcetree's UI, but you can't complain too much about a free product. Pros It supports most git features: when using it, I am very rarely in need of a terminal, and when I do need a terminal, it lets you open one from the current project. Cons The UI is janky and unfriendly. There's also not great support for keyboard shortcuts, so most actions need a click, which slows me down. Review Source KN Kiril N. Senior Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent application" January 6, 2025 5.0 I’m happy to use it and makes it easy to work.

October 19, 2022 5.0 \- Sourcetree is a user friendly tool for version control. Even non-developers in tech field can grasp its concept as long as you know the basics of git. The UI is clean and simple and not very confusing.- I also love the fact that the Sourcetree has a forum on the Internet just in case you encounter a problem/issue Pros \- Using Sourcetree enables me to understand how git is being utilized by Atlassian. Primarily, git commands and operations are done in Bitbucket, but the interface of the Bitbucket alone is a little bit challenging to understand since it is too technical. This is where Sourcetree comes into play. Sourcetree acts as a Git GUI but better.- Since Sourcetree is under the same owner if Bitbucket which is Atlassian, they are perfectly compatible and they can be easily and seamlessly integrated- Sourcetree is easy to setup and learn. The design is plain, minimalistic, and pretty straightforward.- All in all, Sourcetree is never an intimidating app given that it is a technical tool for version control Cons \- None that I can think of. If you are using Atlassian suite and planning on using a version control, do not forget to use Sourcetree together with Bitbucket Switched from [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Change of company Review Source Jing Feng C. Student Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sourcetree Review" July 27, 2022 5.0 Excellent experience overall. My go-to tool whenever I code and collaborate with others. Pros Definitely the ease and reliability of making actions such as branching, committing, pushing etc. The UI components and visualization of the branch tree helps me to commit quickly and with a piece of mind as I feel like I am in control of what is happening and that I am not making any mistakes. It also allows me to see at a glance who is merging their branch into where, and what commits did everyone make. Cons This product is close to perfect. If I were to nitpick, I would say that sometimes it takes some time to load if there were several huge file changes.

The software is capable of doing complex tasks as well with version control. Works amazingly well with Git and Stash. Cons The software crashes sometimes and is CPU intensive.

With its user-friendly design and seamless integration with Git, SourceTree simplifies version control management. It provides an excellent visual representation of Git changes and offers advanced features like branching, merging, and stashing. SourceTree is a must-have tool for developers seeking a comprehensive and efficient Git client. Cons Limited platform support, no support for Linux systems. Review Source Willian Paulo D. Salesforce developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy for non developers" July 28, 2022 5.0 Pros Very easy for developers and non developers to use and sync git changes Cons Could have a better interface, specially regarding git tree Review Source PB Preston B. Employee Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Branching out with SourceTree" October 24, 2024 5.0 Really great, easy to connect to other servers, but sometimes hard to find what you need. Pros I like how easy it is to connect with all the servers, and how it tells you where the conflict is. Cons I struggle to find where everything is, and what it does. Maybe a massive table of contents would help? Just an idea.

So one of my team mate recommended source tree and honestly this really save my time since the day that I started using it. Pros I love the UIs than the commands and I was able to easily visualize my code before committing it, the files that I have changed, my commit history, my current active branch and I can commit, fetch, pull and push my changes to my local repositories to and from remote repositories. I can easily resolve the merge conflicts in my code and can can choose whether I accept local or origin changes. Cons The only thing I experienced is that the lagging of source tree sometimes. Then I have to force close the app and open again and it is sometimes bother me specially when I'm close to the project deadline. Review Source AG Andrew G. Software Engineer Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent version control UI" September 8, 2022 4.0 I use sourcetree from time to time but I work and collaborate with it daily as it is the tool of choice across the organization Pros Allows simple visualization of version control system. Integrates well with bitbucket Cons I prefer the command line because I like to be complicated.

Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An interface to manage Git" April 10, 2023 5.0 I hate commands and what I prefer is interfaces. So I ended up using sourcetree to manage my git repositories. Pros A simple intuitive interface with easy navigations where even a new user can start processes like cloning, pulling and commiting. Most importantly this is free to use. If I get a pull from develop branch and if I have conflicts with my current changes, source tree has conflict resolution tools which make resolving conflicts easier. Cons Honestly, I don't have any drawbacks using this. Review Source Stefano S. Software Tester Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Un buon prodotto, ma difficile da usare" October 19, 2023 4.0 Uso Sourcetree per la condivisione di file per un progetto a cui collaboro. L'uso che ne facciamo è decisamente limitato, ma mi permette di apprezzare la validità del prodotto. Purtroppo in alcuni casi sorgono conflitti (spesso tra versioni diverse degli stessi file) che il programma non riesce a gestire - costringendoci a eliminare manualmente parte del vecchio materiale anziché sostituirlo automaticamente con i nuovi file. A parte questo, il prodotto funziona decisamente bene. Pros Interfaccia piacevole, abbastanza intuitivo Cons Difficoltà nella risoluzione di problemi Review Source VT Viktor T. Software engineer in test Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly GUI for GIT" August 8, 2023 5.0 Sourcetree is a great desktop graphical client for GIT. Which will display more understandable changes in projects and overall tracing of files in projects Pros Sourcetree has a very user friendly user environment. I like that handling, tracking, analysing, committing or even comparing and switching between projects and branches is simple. I also like the graphic design of the app. Cons Sometimes setting up or synchronising a project is more complicated, but most problems can be solved after a little investigation.

Pros SourceTree integrates all our repositories from various online services in one place and makes the fundamental operations of having version control of our own projects very easy. Cons At the start of the project we found some problems to have a clean integration with our Github repositories, specifically the authentication. We managed to get it done in the end but not before looking online for many solutions. After we solved our particular case we can replicate it in other installations with no problems.

A tutorial on how to set up an account would be helpful but once established a perfect product to utilize for a script repository and updating items/steps to be saved on a local drive. Pros Once installed and up and running it was perfect for our needs. As an end user of the Source Tree app it was easy to use and intuitive with basic instructions for real time application. Cons Difficulty with initial install. Required networking with coworkers who use the product to detect issues having and how to resolve. From using source tree cmd to over ride code that was being an issue to use the app vs having to set up a authorized account. Review Source IS Ivan S.

Making my work faster, ease in deployment, it’s just amazing! Pros I first encountered with this software when I started my college days as a Software Engineer. I can say the most that I like about this software is that it leads to a faster, clean, organized code movement. How the authentic and secure way of protecting your code makes this software amazing. Cons The least I like about this software is that it doesn’t have continuous updates. That bothers me a lot. Review Source MG Max G.

Cons L'ergonomie de celui-ci et son interface sont à revoir car pas très explicites au premier abord. Il faut se plonger et prendre en main le logiciel afin de pouvoir en tirer une véritable utilité.
