Tobias here from the Tower team! I'd like to confirm your assumption: we're indeed working full-steam on improving Tower for Windows (and Mac, of course ;-) We have quite some exciting features and additions on the roadmap!

Tower team here: thanks for pointing this out! This is already on our todo list - and, in fact, already being worked on! Won't be an issue for very long ;-)

The learning platform on git-tower.com/learn also contains lots of content for learning Git on the command line (without Tower). This is true for both the 150-page book and the 24-part video series.

Hmm... "data corrupting bugs"? Honestly, we haven't heard of a single case in all of our 5 years of being on the market (--> a Tower team member here). Could you please get in touch with more information via support@git-to

Being able to do basic things on the command line is definitely nice. And the question is not command line VERSUS a GUI. Tower, e.g. can be used side-by-side with the command line. However, Tower help you both become more productive and mak

In the standard "Merge" dialog (see toolbar button), the option "Always generate merge commit" will make sure the merge is --no-ff.

First, let me say that Sourcetree is an excellent application, too. However, most people that chose Tower over Sourcetree prefer our approach in regard to user interface, workflows, usability, etc. A visual conflict wizard, a new service ac

Sure, you're not limited to code when using Git. Especially when collaborating with others (and more so when working with plain text files), Git can help a lot. I'd suggest you give it a try; both Git and the online version of our

It's definitely not easy. And you'll fall back into old, bad habits from time to time. But going through with it as completely as possible can really make a difference for you productivity.

I'm on a Mac and appreciate an app called "Concentrate". It effectively blocks certain apps (like Skype etc.) and websites (Facebook, Twitter, ...) and prevents me from using them! Works great for me.

A lot of teams have, for example, a "development" branch next to "master" through the whole project - and are doing fine. It's a matter of taste and agreement within the team, I'd say.

I guess it's a combination: a) Granular commits are an essential basis of good version control. Big, bloated commits (maybe even combining code from multiple, different topics) will sooner or later bite you. b) Integrating often. I thi

Same approach here in our team! Basically a very similar model to what "git-flow" propagates. And actually one that is very easy to understand.
