Save time with Sourcetree

To interact with our repositories, we employ SourceTree as a tool. The use of a user-friendly UI was much simpler for our team than constantly entering instructions into the GIT command line. Because the product had the features we needed and was packaged so beautifully, we decided to buy it.

PROS

Investigating repositoriesEasy to use UIConflicts between merges are beautifully highlighted.

CONS

Really, I've had no luck. I have used it for five years, and I haven't missed anything.

One of the best Atlassian product to pair with Bitbucket -- SOURCETREE!

- Sourcetree is a user friendly tool for version control. Even non-developers in tech field can grasp its concept as long as you know the basics of git. The UI is clean and simple and not very confusing.- I also love the fact that the Sourcetree has a forum on the Internet just in case you encounter a problem/issue

PROS

- Using Sourcetree enables me to understand how git is being utilized by Atlassian. Primarily, git commands and operations are done in Bitbucket, but the interface of the Bitbucket alone is a little bit challenging to understand since it is too technical. This is where Sourcetree comes into play. Sourcetree acts as a Git GUI but better.- Since Sourcetree is under the same owner if Bitbucket which is Atlassian, they are perfectly compatible and they can be easily and seamlessly integrated- Sourcetree is easy to setup and learn. The design is plain, minimalistic, and pretty straightforward.- All in all, Sourcetree is never an intimidating app given that it is a technical tool for version control

CONS

- None that I can think of. If you are using Atlassian suite and planning on using a version control, do not forget to use Sourcetree together with Bitbucket

Adequate but janky git client

It's a mostly positive experience. I don't like Sourcetree's UI, but you can't complain too much about a free product.

PROS

It supports most git features: when using it, I am very rarely in need of a terminal, and when I do need a terminal, it lets you open one from the current project.

CONS

The UI is janky and unfriendly. There's also not great support for keyboard shortcuts, so most actions need a click, which slows me down.

Tool to interact with gtlab

I'm so bored to remember git commands to interact with my git lab repositories and I forget them also. So one of my team mate recommended source tree and honestly this really save my time since the day that I started using it.

PROS

I love the UIs than the commands and I was able to easily visualize my code before committing it, the files that I have changed, my commit history, my current active branch and I can commit, fetch, pull and push my changes to my local repositories to and from remote repositories. I can easily resolve the merge conflicts in my code and can can choose whether I accept local or origin changes.

CONS

The only thing I experienced is that the lagging of source tree sometimes. Then I have to force close the app and open again and it is sometimes bother me specially when I'm close to the project deadline.

Excellent version control UI

I use sourcetree from time to time but I work and collaborate with it daily as it is the tool of choice across the organization

PROS

Allows simple visualization of version control system. Integrates well with bitbucket

CONS

I prefer the command line because I like to be complicated. It helps me fully understand how the system works without functionality being masked by a UI

Reasons for switching to Sourcetree

Organization wide switch
