Tower vs GitKraken
Why Tower is the leading Git client among professionals.
Feature Set
From Auto-Fetch to Cherry-Pick, from Submodules to Interactive Rebase, from Git-Flow to Git LFS, and from File History to Reflog... Tower offers an amazing set of features, unmatched by any other Git client on the market - including GitKraken.
Usability and Ease of Use
But more important than the sheer number of features is probably how these features were designed. Does the application make things easier for you? Does it support you when performing complex operations? Does it help you undo mistakes?
Usability & Workflows
A dedicated usability engineer on the Tower team makes sure that workflows are designed to prevent errors and improve productivity.
Undo Features
Tower makes Git's well-known and lesser-known undo functionality easily accessible to you. Rollback, revert, discard, amend and more become actually usable.
Conflict Wizard
Tower's unique conflict wizard helps users solve merge conflicts in an easy, visual way.
File History, Blame, Diff Tools
Being able to understand who changed what is critical. Tower offers an in-depth File History, Blame views, and integrations with all major Diff applications.
