Tower 1.4.19

Tower is a free and easy to use GIT client for the Mac OS X platform. It’s all about your Git repositories: where are they located on your disk? Is your local working copy some commits ahead of or behind the remote origin repository?

Most of the time, you only want to know about the last few commits that happened, not about the very first commit from 2 years ago.

The 'Recent History' view was designed to give you a quick overview of the most recent activity in your Git repo.

The 'History List' shows you all commits in a classic 'email style' view. The lower part contains everything there is to know about a certain commit - including e.g. integrated file diff information.

Here are some key features of "Tower":
