Source Tree (https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/) is great. Good visual layout of your diffs at any given point with the ability to stage/discard/unstage specific lines from within the program.
- malnourish 11y agoIn my experience Source Tree is good but it happens to have noticeable slowdown and "jank" on both OS X and Windows after a while. On OS X I've been using Tower to great effect. Unfortunately it's OS X only.
- jamesfmilne 11y agoI've found Tower to be very sluggish on a large repository on OS X, where as Source Tree keeps on trucking. Our repo is 4GB and has about 1 million commits. Source Tree is the only client on Mac I've found so far that doesn't completely grind to a halt on a repository of this size.
- dogweather 11y agoFor me, Source Tree is very unusable and doesn't make any sense. Maybe I'm approaching it wrong? It feels like there wasn't much thought about user stories and ux: every git operation was given a button or menu item. Sort of the MS Word phenomenon. Their screenshot on its home page is overwhelming, just like the design of their apps: a hundred items all vying for your attention. In contrast, GitHub's app for Mac is immediately useful: it makes the 80/20 of git work easy.
