SourceTree is powerful enough for experts, yet simple enough for beginners. Therefore, using SourceTree is more time efficient and easier to use in comparison to the command line interface. On the other hand, from the command line, the user will be required to use the “git reset ” command to unstage the file. With SourceTree, this task will require the user to check off the file in the staging section to move the file into the working index. In addition, a scenario may require the users to unstage files. However, that is not the case with SourceTree because the functionality of those commands is included in the user interface by default. With the command line, extra steps such as “git status” and “git diff” may be necessary in order to figure out what files need to be staged and pushed. Then, the user will finish off the process, with the “git push” command.” Then these steps will be followed by “git commit –m ” command. After using these commands, the user will continue by adding the files with the “git add …” command. In addition, the user may have to utilize the “git diff” command to figure out the changes that were made to each of the files. Then, the user will have to use the “git status” command to figure out all the files that have been altered to figure out which files need to be staged. After changes are made and saved, one would head over to the command line. On the other hand, doing the same exact thing from the command line can be more time consuming. Then, all the user has to do is click the commit button, enter the message for the commit and check off the box to simultaneously push the changes to the remote repository. From that point, the developer simply has to check off the checkbox next to each of the files that he or she would like to stage or unstage. In the SourceTree interface, the files that were altered will be reflected in a section that lists all the modified or new files. First off, the user will make the local changes and save all the files in which the changes were made. With SourceTree, the process to accomplish this is as follows. This helped me keep up with the changes that were being made to the repository in real time.įor instance, making a local change and pushing that change to the remote repository from SourceTree can save time as opposed to doing the same from the command line as fewer steps are necessary. Another great feature of SourceTree is that it shows how many changes have been made to the branches since you last pulled. I found this to be one of the best features as this view helped me visualize my workflow. SourceTree features a graph which shows the relationships between the branches and commits.
Branches can be checked out by double clicking on the branch names under the branches section.
SourceTree saves a lot of time and allows users to stage, unstage and push files with the click of a single button.
SourceTree has a lot of cool features to offer which make performing even some complex tasks in Git easy to perform and performing easy steps even easier. Due to the features that SourceTree encompasses, it helped improve my workflow and productivity. Visualizing and managing repositories through SourceTree’s simple interface is very easy.

This helped me focus more on coding as opposed to focusing on maintaining my code in Git. SourceTree has simplified how I am able to interact with Git repositories. I have been using it for about a month now and I have fallen in love with this tool.
It features an appealing visual interface between users and Git which can be seen in the below image.
