It's definitely my favorite git client! It looks great and provides a very nice macOS like experience and and gives access to all git features I need. Especially I like the interface for single-line-staging and managing submodules. I use it everyday.
It's not and IDE as you do not edit your code inside Tower but just use it for staging/committing/push/pull.
It also has support for git-flow [1] but I am not using that.

- herbst 10y agoSo you it supports a subset of git with a GUI? So the benefit is a GUI on git?
- laszlokorte 10y agoYes. There are many UIs for git [1] of which in my opinion Tower ist by far the best. If you prefer git on the command line then it's maybe not for you. But I personally prefer a good GUI over a CLI. "subset" sounds like there would be features missing in the GUI that you can only access on the command line. Maybe that's true in a strict sense but I did not need to use the CLI in years since using Tower. [1]: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis
- herbst 10y agothanks :) So i most likely am not missing out on anything, i understand the the CLI is not for everyone, but i spend half of my day in the CLI anyway so i don't mind :)
