Get Early Access to the New Tower

New

• Command Line Tool: Tower includes a rewritten gittower command line tool for driving Tower from the terminal — cloning repositories, reviewing branches with filtering, sorting and search, listing pull requests, reading and changing a branch’s stacking settings, managing your license, and inspecting file history and blame. It works just as well for AI agents and scripts, which can use it to hand work over to Tower, for example by opening the history of the branch they just worked on so you can review their commits.

Improved

• Command Line Tool: The tool is now installed as a link to Tower, so it stays up to date on its own and never has to be reinstalled after Tower updates.

• Command Line Tool: Tower no longer replaces a gittower command that another program installed. It explains what’s already there instead, and asks before replacing a link you made yourself.

• Command Line Tool: The Integration settings offer to update a command line tool left behind by an older version of Tower, and to repair one that stopped working because Tower was moved or renamed.

• Blame: Blame and the raw file view now follow HEAD when opened for a file, showing its state on the current branch instead of pinning it to a single commit.

Fixed

• Command Line Tool: Fixed cancelling the password prompt while installing the command line tool reporting the installation as successful.

• Raw File View: Fixed the raw file view showing a file at an outdated revision after the file changed.

• Blame: Blame now reports a failed load instead of showing an empty file.

• New Window: Fixed opening a repository in a new window adding it as a tab to the existing window when macOS is set to prefer tabs.
