Overall Satisfaction with Sourcetree

As an eCommerce websites developer, I handle many projects from multiple clients, and Sourcetree works great for handling the code in our repository and keep it synchronized. It provides valuable features as a GUI, so makings stashes, merges, pull requests, managing Git Flow, among others, becomes fairly easy.
  • Git flow
  • Visually representing the repository branches.
  • Handling third party applications for file comparing
  • There is a strange flickering on displays with G Sync on
  • A better, native, file comparing tool could be added
  • It seriously decreases the time required to set up a new or existing project

Do you think Sourcetree delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Sourcetree's feature set?

Yes

Did Sourcetree live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Sourcetree go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Sourcetree again?

Yes

I can't think of an scenario where I would not use Sourcetree over the command line or where it would be objectively worst. I really like the ability to select just the lines I want for a certain commit so I can write the commit message in more detail. I also have not found a feature that you cannot use on Sourcetree but can on a command line interface. Thus, I cannot remember the last time I used the command line interface to handle repositories instead of just installing Sourcetree.
