A better way to work with Git

Trying to remember all those Git commands? Afraid of using Git’s advanced features as things might break? There’s a better way to work with Git.

Imagine you could undo mistakes in Git with a simple keyboard shortcut, use Interactive Rebase via drag and drop or clone a repository from GitHub with a single click.

Tower lets you do exactly that and so much more. Finally take advantage of Git’s powerful feature set - in a beautiful GUI that will make you more productive every single day.
