I've been a Git Tower user for a few years now. The company I work for has been moving from Assembla to GitLab, so I'm happy to see the GitLab pull requests feature and am excited to try it. Interactive rebasing looks great as well. Nice work, Tower team!
Thank you! Looking forward to your feedback.
SourceTree's interactive rebase GUI has been one of the biggest things keeping me using it. I'd very briefly tried out Tower, but wasn't impressed. I may have to take another look at it.
Any ETA on the rest of those "coming on Windows" features?

Great to hear you're giving it another try!
No ETAs, but the team is fully and exclusively focused on making Tower better every day (meaning: no other projects). We're working on Tower full steam!

I tried Git Tower for Windows when it first launched, it was pretty nice but didn't hit the mark for me to want to spend money on it. If they're going to make "hard" maneuvers like rebasing and cherry-picking easy to do in the UI though, it may be worth another look. GitHub hasn't given really any attempt to expose that sort of capability in their UIs, and as someone who doesn't Git enough to put the time into learning the command line... very interesting.

Our goal with Tower is to make working with Git easier and more productive, for both Pros and Beginners. We're putting a lot of time and effort into design, workflows, and usability.
Additionally, we're making a lot of Git's "power-features" more accessible: it's not enough to just "somehow provide" a feature like Interactive Rebase. It's only helpful when it's carefully designed and really useable...
With the current Beta version (www.git-tower.com/public-beta-2018), I think we've made great progress to achieve these ambitious goals. However, of course: please see for yourself :-)

Yep, the rebasing and reflog UIs are what has me trying this out. I've long been a CLI-only user (with the exception of sometimes using something like GitUp for getting a visual picture of the various branches in a repo). But I've always been hesitant about more advanced operations. Maybe Tower will make that less scary.
It would be great to get a nice Git GUI client for Linux. Hope they can add Linux as a supported platform in the future.
Ooo nice one. Once interactive rebase lands I’m switching from SourceTree.
