SourceTree is really nice overall. To name a few things, I prefer its view of history, its hunk selection UI, and its commit message box (GitHub's is tiny and can't be made much bigger). It's also nice that it supports Mercurial.
I had some problems with it keeping changes synced with the file system, though (on Mac OS). E.g., I'd change something in my editor and SourceTree wouldn't pick it up until I reopened the repository in SourceTree.
I also prefer a single window like GitHub's app, but that is a minor annoyance. The non-syncing made SourceTree unusable after a while, and I went back to GitHub for Mac.
I wish Atlassian would put out an update, because I'd prefer to switch back.
- nevi-me 11y agoEvery week or 3 when I restart my machine and reopen SourceTree, it tells me that there's an update. Maybe the issue that you're talking about hasn't been logged or they're not working on it. I'll try GH Desktop, but for the past few months mine's been broken where it loses my repos, so I've been using ST exclusively :)
- cname 11y agoAre you on Windows? I'm pretty sure the Mac version hasn't been updated in quite some time. I just downloaded a fresh copy, and it's the same version I downloaded a while back: 2.0.5.2.
- wingerlang 11y agoRecently I switched on a mode in where I have to manually refresh to see changes, maybe you have accidentally done that as well.
- pkamb 11y agoI too sometimes see the file system syncing lag in SourceTree. ⌘R refreshes the repository and usually fixes the issue in my experience.
