In their own words
Sourcetree
Sourcetree is a graphical desktop client for visualizing and managing Git repositories on Windows and macOS, with Mercurial support as well. From its interface, users can create, clone, commit, push, pull and merge repositories, then stage or discard changes by file, hunk or line. The client supports Git Large File Storage for large assets, Git-flow branching, submodules, local commit search, interactive rebase and remote repository search and cloning. Sourcetree connects with Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Server, GitHub, GitLab and VSTS. It is described for beginners and advanced users. The Windows Enterprise edition adds MSI deployment, silent installs, centrally managed updates and sign-in with existing Bitbucket Data Center credentials without another account signup. The Free plan costs nothing and includes the Windows and Mac desktop client for Git and Mercurial. Pull-request comments, approvals and repository access changes remain in the hosting service.
