> 
> **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.

### "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.
