Custom URL Scheme

Using Tower's custom URL handling is an interesting way to open the app right from your browser. The URL scheme that Tower reacts on has the following format:

gittower://openRepo/<remote-repository-URL>

Here's an example:

gittower://openRepo/git@example.beanstalkapp.com:/project.git

Called like this, the Tower app will open and offer to either clone or open the given repository.

Furthermore, you can start up Tower and define/reset the used proxy with the following custom URLs:

gittower://setProxy?server=<ip address>&port=<port>&username=<username>&password=<password>
gittower://clearProxy
