> **Rajdeepsinh** | *10 March 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Investigating repositoriesEasy to use UIConflicts between merges are beautifully highlighted.
> 
> **Cons**: Really, I've had no luck. I have used it for five years, and I haven't missed anything.
> 
> To interact with our repositories, we employ SourceTree as a tool. The use of a user-friendly UI was much simpler for our team than constantly entering instructions into the GIT command line. Because the product had the features we needed and was packaged so beautifully, we decided to buy it.

### "Makes Git easy\!" — 5.0/5

> **Heather** | *07 December 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It makes using Git really simple - great tool to be able to visualize your commits, merges and PRs
> 
> **Cons**: Some more complicated elements like re-basing branches or reverting commits can be hard to do on source tree - improvements could be made to the way these items are displayed
> 
> Sourcetree is a fantastic way to visualize Git. I have used it for the last 5 years and it has really helped to simplify Git commits and help me fully utilize all of the Git capabilities

### "Adequate but janky git client" — 4.0/5

> **Andres** | *19 November 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It supports most git features: when using it, I am very rarely in need of a terminal, and when I do need a terminal, it lets you open one from the current project.
> 
> **Cons**: The UI is janky and unfriendly. There's also not great support for keyboard shortcuts, so most actions need a click, which slows me down.
> 
> It's a mostly positive experience. I don't like Sourcetree's UI, but you can't complain too much about a free product.

### "One of the best Atlassian product to pair with Bitbucket -- SOURCETREE\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *19 October 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Using Sourcetree enables me to understand how git is being utilized by Atlassian. Primarily, git commands and operations are done in Bitbucket, but the interface of the Bitbucket alone is a little bit challenging to understand since it is too technical. This is where Sourcetree comes into play. Sourcetree acts as a Git GUI but better.- Since Sourcetree is under the same owner if Bitbucket which is Atlassian, they are perfectly compatible and they can be easily and seamlessly integrated- Sourcetree is easy to setup and learn. The design is plain, minimalistic, and pretty straightforward.- All in all, Sourcetree is never an intimidating app given that it is a technical tool for version control
> 
> **Cons**: - None that I can think of. If you are using Atlassian suite and planning on using a version control, do not forget to use Sourcetree together with Bitbucket
> 
> \- Sourcetree is a user friendly tool for version control. Even non-developers in tech field can grasp its concept as long as you know the basics of git. The UI is clean and simple and not very confusing.- I also love the fact that the Sourcetree has a forum on the Internet just in case you encounter a problem/issue
