Atlassian Offers SourceTree Git Client for Microsoft Windows
Atlassian, a leading Australian provider of the popular products like issue tracking application, JIRA, and its team collaboration product, Confluence, is making a major move with SourceTree, a free desktop client for Git and Mercurial distributed version control systems (DVCS). With this announcement, SourceTree will be offering all developers a solution that is not currently available through any other provider.
SourceTree is a significant addition to Atlassian’s popular Git solutions, and is now available for download on the Microsoft Windows platform (previously only available for Mac). SourceTree for Windows allows developers to interface with distributed Git source repositories through a simple desktop client. It seamlessly integrates with Bitbucket, a cloud-based hosting service for software development projects using DVCS, and Stash, an on-premise DVCS solution for enterprise teams managing their code on-site.
“Whether you’re working on Mac or Windows, behind the firewall or in the cloud, our tools will bring you the power of Git while making adoption a breeze. With this latest release of SourceTree, we now provide a full complement of tools that will help you and your development team make the most of Git.” said Justen Stepka, product manager for SourceTree and Bitbucket. “We see huge potential for the Windows platform.”
SourceTree is designed to simplify the way developers interact with and manage code repositories, and fits seamlessly into a developer’s workflow. It not only automates complex command line operations but also enables users to visualize change sets across multiple branches and forks. Some of the capabilities offered by SourceTree include:
- Committing, pushing, pulling and merging changes easily with a click of a button
- Organizing repositories with an intuitive bookmarks window
- Visualizing work changes over time with SourceTree’s log view
- Detecting and resolving conflicts
- Searching commit histories for changes and review file logs
- Staging and stashing code changes until ready to push
- Customizing actions to support individual commands
SourceTree for Windows (Git only) is free and available for download at sourcetreeapp.com. Go grab it, now!
