Command Line vs. GUI

This is not an either-or decision - use Git with Tower and on the command line!

Command Line and Tower

There is no reason to choose one and abandon the other: you can perfectly use Git on the Command Line and in Tower side by side!

Clear Visualization, Better Understanding

In some situations, the command line’s simple display capabilities are sufficient. But in many situations, Tower’s clear visual interface can be incredibly helpful - and make complex scenarios a lot easier to understand.

Some things are meant to have a UI, and Git is one of them if you ask me. Tower is the perfect level of abstraction away from command-line Git usage.

The Full Power of Git

Much of Git’s power is buried under complex commands and parameters. This is why many developers only use a fraction of Git’s possibilities - and miss out on a lot of power! Tower gives you easy access to many advanced Git features, like single line staging, Submodules, and Interactive Rebase.

Tower is a pleasure to use while it retains the full power of Git. I enjoy using it every day for both design and code work.

Productivity

Professionals get things done... but in a productive, efficient manner. Tower gives you superpowers by making hard things easy. For example when solving conflicts, inspecting a file’s history or simply by automating tedious tasks for you.
