I've been a Tower user since 2014, nearly a decade now. Transitioning from CVS to SVN, and then to GIT, has been quite a journey, especially at an older age. It's amusing how some people look down on using a GUI for GIT, but my use of Tower ensures that my commits are flawless and free from errors like an unexpected "console.log". For infrequent, complex operations, Tower provides a sense of security. Its standout feature is the ability to 'undo' actions that are typically irreversible. An instance is discarding changes in an uncommitted file. While purists might suggest diving into the 'reflog', a practical programmer appreciates the simplicity of 'cmd+z' in Tower.
Tower is the best Git client bar none - the speed, the reliability and the exceptionally great functionality (both in the features and their UX) just makes it a no-brainer purchase and use. I honestly believe anyone who's not using it is missing out on major productivity gains.
I've been using Tower for the last ten years ! Nothing beats it for ease of use for anything GIT related. The UI is slick, there are plenty of keyboard shortcut, nothing is missing :)
This is basically the first software I get every time I join a new company. I've been using it for ~10 years and it's been amazing to see how the product consistently evolved over time. It's objectively the best GUI for Git, and I'll always cherish its main killer feature: the CMD+Z.
Tower is by far the best Git GUI experience I've used. I'm quite familiar with the git CLI, however after years of using that, it's often refreshing to have a UI that more closely matches things I would do in the CLI. Incredible tool, and very well designed.
I've been using Git Tower for the last 2 years and I couldn't see myself ever not having it in my toolbox now - I use it almost every single day. It 99% of my git usage seemless, easy and the UI is exceptional. I recommend it to all of the developers I speak to! Not to mention on the very few times I've needed to contact customer support, they have always been super quick and helpful!
Congrats on the launch! Tower is and remains my favorite Git client. Love the syntax coloring. Speaking of color, I would also love to be able to customize the repository list a bit more, with folders and colors, maybe even custom icons. Would help me to be quicker in finding the repository I‘m looking for. Maybe I just have too many repos…
Tower is a great product, I had tested it for 30 days some day in the past and liked it very much. Unfortunately I had to let it pass as of the missing perpetual licence. If the devs re-work their licensing model I can give it 5 stars.
Awesome to see Tower here on producthunt :) I'm using it for 3+ years now and did not regret a day of it. I have not found a different git client which is nearly as usable as Tower (and I really looked for a lot) By the way, the initial decision for me to try Tower was the slow performance of other git clients, and Tower really set new standards for me! Thanks to all the folks behind Tower for helping me make my dev-work more enjoyable every day!
What I like best about Git Tower is its exceptional user-friendly interface, along with its robust feature set. Among these features, I particularly appreciate its smooth branch management, rebasing, efficient stashing, and so much more. These capabilities, combined with the clean and intuitive UI, make my daily work as a software developer incredibly productive and enjoyable.
