When people get into a jam, we tell them to use this product and try to see if they can solve it. That is if they weren't able to figure it out using the command-line tool. I guess that GitHub is trying to push into that too, where now they've now got a GitHub Command Line Interface, that's I think supposedly trying to mirror what the web version does on the command line, but still using Git on the backend. I wonder if that's something that SourceTree or Bitbucket might look at and say, how do they make a tool that works, still Git on the backend, but gives you a visualization in their GUI tool. But then, you use it possibly like GitHub's doing with their GitHub Command-Line, where you get some convenience operators. I guess the trick there is just going to be maintaining Git compatibility and not having to learn a totally different workflow. In summary, this is a product that works for the case where I need it, but it's not something that I use all of the time. I'm not sure what it would take for me to use it regularly, or how I might better integrate it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Version control solutions are essential tools for software development teams, enabling them to effectively manage and track changes to their codebase over time.
I rate Atlassian SourceTree a nine out of ten. It has good data manipulation tools and is easy to use.
I advise others to evaluate GitKraken as well. I rate the solution a five out of ten.
There are other applications for the client-side that you can use to interface with Bitbucket. I rate Atlassian SourceTree a nine out of ten.
