Tower: a graphical interface for git

Play

Like many of you, I use Git regularly. Some of us use the terminal and other tools built into our IDE. Whereas I, and many others, like to use a dedicated git graphical user interface (GUI).

For many years, I have used Fork, but the good folks at Tower sent me a license to take their well-known and venerable git GUI for a spin.

I take a look at it, how it compares to what I use already, and look at some of its new and forthcomign features.
