Tower overview

Tower is a Git client for OS X that makes using Git easy and more efficient. Users benefit from its elegant and comprehensive interface and a feature set that lets them enjoy the full power of Git.

Tower abstracts Git's complexity in an easy-to-use interface. For example, lots of actions can be performed simply via drag-and-drop, and mistakes can be undone easily. Advanced users can increase their productivity with features like single line staging, submodule support, or the file history.

Features:
  • git-svn support
  • File history
  • git-flow support
  • Submodule support
  • git-lfs support
  • Blame view
  • Single-line staging (per-line committing)
  • Cherry-picking
  • Discard chunks/lines
  • Direct Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab, GitSwarm, Beanstalk, Visual Studio Team Services, Team Foundation Server and Rhodecode integration
  • Support for Bitbucket team accounts
  • Support for full-screen and Retina displays
  • Many powerful drag-and-drop features include merge, rebase, push /pull to/from remote, apply stash, create new branch, etc.

What users say about Tower

By johanjoubert-1 on Dec 4 2023 for v.10.2.2

Ease of use: 5.0

Of all the GIT GUIs I've tried (GitKracken, ToirtosieGit, Sourcetree, Terminal - not a GUI, but still, etc), I find Tower the most intuitive ans easy-to-use.

Features: 5.0

I would consider myself a mid-level user; not a newbie, but let's just say: I don't have a PhD in Computer Science either... ;-) And, for me, Tower has everything I need, from basic Git transactions to more advanced merge requests.

The ability to undo mistakes by just hitting cmd-Z stands for the philosophy of Tower: Making the use of Git easy, intuitive and accessible for noobs. In the time I am working with Tower I had never the need to run Git in the terminal – and that’s great.

Super happy with version 5. It finally allows to ignore whitespace changes in the diff view!! diffs for untracked files is also much appreciated. Btw. even if you don’t use Tower check out their learning platform. They offer free video tutorials, books, cheat sheets etc. - mainly around Git (even on the command line), but also other topics for developers.
