It does work well. Personally the client is very slick and fast but their built-in direction really need some work. i haven't updated to the newest version yet so maybe it will be better

Perfect for student. It's completely free for 1-year and if you still need it, you email them and they renew your subscription for free.

This is a very great piece of software which helps me and my colleagues a lot in our collaborative model development.

Plus, the Tower team is super-friendly and has always replied to my emails very fast. I wish, all app developers would be like that!

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.

I've been keeping up with Tower for almost 10 years now. I found an email from back in December 2010 where I sent the beta to a friend of mine. It was only about 3 or 4 years ago that I finally broke down and bought it. I'd been using several free git clients for a while and they did work fine, but after trying a demo of Git Tower, things just clicked. It made managing my team's large git repository a breeze and was generally a joy to use. The client itself mostly stays out of your way and allows you to get your work done without difficulty.

I'm a happy paying customer and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

I have been using Tower professionally for many years and I wouldn't want to work without it. The clean and intuitive user interface improves my Git workflow tremendously. It saves me a lot of time across the whole spectrum of committing, merging, push/pull, pull requests and most importantly, merge conflicts.

I basically never had to use the command line again since I started using Tower. It is an application I use daily and find it worth every penny. The support is outstanding and the resources the company provides on their website is super valuable.

Definitely a recommended piece of software if Git is a part of your daily business.

What is Tower?

Tower is a native desktop Git client for both macOS and Windows. The app gives developers, designers, and non-technical people easy access to the full power of Git with features such as Pull Requests, Interactive Rebase, Image Diffing, Quick Actions, Undo and much more.

Tower offers seamless integration with industry-leading services like GitHub, Atlassian Bitbucket, GitLab, Microsoft Visual Studio, or Perforce - both online and behind the firewall. And since Tower uses pure Git under the hood, it works with any other code hosting service, too.

Tower comes with a built-in diff viewer. However, you can also use your favorite tool instead - like P4Merge, Meld, Beyond Compare, Code Compare, Araxis Merge, KDiff 3, Ultra Compare, WinMerge, and many more.

You can use all of Git's powerful feature set - in a GUI that makes you more productive. Tower helps you master version control with Git.

A free 30-day trial is available for download.

Tower is FREE for students, teachers, and educational institutions such as universities, schools, coding bootcamps etc.
