If you’re a developer who has used ever version control, either subversion or git, and found the command line interface cumbersome and confusing, you’ve probably searched for an easier way to manage your repositories.
For subversion there’s Versions which is a super sexy and easy to use desktop program. It allows you to manage your local and remote repositories, commit and pull, branch, etc. It’s been around for a while and has attracted some good feedback. The problem is the subversion landscape is quickly being overshadowed by git, the new wunderkind of the developer world. Versions has been promising git integration for a while but has so far failed to deliver.
Berlin-based Fournova tired of waiting and developed their own sexy git GUI. Say hello to Tower. We met the Fournova team at our June meet up in Berlin and they gave us a chance to check out the application.
