Work with Git repositories, view, explore, modify GitHub projects

Bitbucket has free private repos, simple setup and nice UI, but it is quite buggy and the CI tool is not free. While, SourceTree has a beautiful UI, which supports history and branch views, but fetching is slow at times and crashes often. Sourcetree is an easy-to-use app that connects to many of the popular source code hosting tools out there like Bitbucket, Kiln and (for Git users) GitHub. TortoiseHg is another available tool — a shell extension for Windows, Linux and OS X that provides a mature, stable GUI to work with Mercurial. Sourcetree is a great way to start using Git repositories without the steep learning curve of using the command line. Bitbucket integration also makes it easy to connect to an account and enable the creation and administration of repositories directly from the application. Go to the Sourcetree website and click the download button. From the ZIP file you download, click the application file (EXE for Windows or DMG for Mac) to download. After you install, you'll have to agree to the Atlassian Customer Agreement and hit Continue. You need an Atlassian account to use Sourcetree.

Sourcetree simplifies how you interact with your Git repositories so you can focus on coding. Visualize and manage your repositories through Sourcetree's simple Git GUI.

Sourcetree is perfect for making advanced users even more productive. Review changesets, stash, cherry-pick between branches and more.
