I Use GitHub.app and You Should Too

I too find Git to be the kind of tool that works well through a GUI. However, I went one step further and bought Tower [1]. In addition to the many things that GitHub.app does, Tower takes things one step further. If you tried using GitHub.app, but ran up against a Git activity that isn&#x27;t exposed through the app, then you should take a serious look at Tower.<p>One specific example is partial commits within a single file. Tower shows a diff view of edited files that breaks edits from different regions of a single file in to chunks. You can stage&#x2F;un-stage these chunks right through the GUI. This is very similar to `git add -p filename.ext`, but with a very nice GUI.<p>1: <a href="http://www.git-tower.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.git-tower.com</a>

It still has major issues. But, for many things it is absolutely better to have a GUI.

I use SourceTree for most of these same reasons.
