More than a month ago, popular Git client Tower launched its Windows app in a public beta. Today, the app is coming out of beta and users can try it out on their Windows PC right now. Tower is a very good alternative to some of the other Git clients out there, as it provides a lot of features and power in one simple user interface. Here are some of the features of Tower on Windows:

  • Clear Interface โ€“ Streamlined, tried & tested workflows and a beautiful design.
  • Performance โ€“ Fast. Lean. Responsive.
  • Open Multiple Repos โ€“ Open and work with multiple repos simultaneously.
  • Services Manager โ€“ Clone your GitHub / Bitbucket / Visual Studio repos with a single click.
  • Conflict Wizard โ€“ Solve merge conflicts with ease. Goodbye fear. Hello confidence.
  • git-flow Support โ€“ Use the popular โ€œgit-flowโ€ branching model right from within Tower.
  • Open Quickly โ€“ Find & open repositories lightning-fast โ€“ without touching the mouse.
  • Searching & Filtering โ€“ A powerful search feature helps you find what youโ€™re looking for.
  • Repository Manager โ€“ Lean and simple local repository bookmarks.
  • Always Up-to-Date โ€“ New remote changes are fetched automatically in the background.
  • Unsynced Commits โ€“ Instantly see which commits havenโ€™t been pushed or pulled, yet.
  • Details for Everything โ€“ See all details about Stashes, Remotes, and Submodules quicker than ever.

  • Faster Committing โ€“ The commit dialog is integrated into the working copy view for faster access.
