Tower overview

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’s new in version 15.0.3
Improved
- Fully Merged Detection: A branch is now only marked as "fully merged" when git reports it as merged and its tracked remote branch no longer exists. This reliably identifies branches that were merged and deleted on the remote. We will expand to more cases in upcoming releases once we are confident they work reliably or can easily be disabled by users.
- Fully Merged Detection: Branches at the same commit as their parent are no longer incorrectly marked as fully merged.
- Fully Merged Detection: Reused branch names and long-running base branches no longer trigger false positives.
- Fully Merged Detection: The hint message now correctly reflects whether the remote branch still exists or not.
- Sidebar: Improved badge readability with larger font size, bolder icons, and higher contrast text color.
- Sidebar: The stale indicator is now displayed after the branch name instead of as a badge, reducing clutter.
- Stale Branches: Added 18 and 24 month options for the stale branch interval setting.
- Stacked Branches: Branches are no longer automatically marked as stacked when setting a parent.
Fixed
- Sidebar: Ahead/behind counts are now correctly shown for stale and fully merged branches.
- Undo: Undo could become unavailable in certain scenarios until the window has been closed and re-opened. This has been fixed.
- Branches: The return key did not confirm the branch creation dialog.
- Fixed contact support URL.

What users say about Tower
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.

Version: 6.4
The best GUI git client for Mac OS. It is free for students :-)

Version: 6.3
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.
