SourceTree

The latest version of SourceTree is 4.0.2, offering users a comprehensive tool for managing Git repositories through a graphical interface. This free Git repository manager is developed by Atlassian and occupies just 23.8 MB of your storage space, which makes it a lightweight yet powerful addition to your Development Tools.

With SourceTree you can easily visualize and manage your repositories, review change-sets, and perform actions like stashing and cherry-picking between branches. Detailed branching diagrams in SourceTree make tracking your team’s progress straightforward. Accessing information on any branch or commit is effortlessly done with a single click.

Particularly advantageous for teams, SourceTree supports Git LFS, allowing for the management of large assets within a single repository. The tool is compatible with both Git and Mercurial systems, broadening its usability for different version control workflows.

The program is available for multiple Windows operating systems including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11, ensuring broad compatibility. Users can download it using files such as SourceTree.exe, SourceTree Mac.exe, and SourceTreeUpdate.exe. If you are running an older version like 4.0, 3.3, or 3.2, updating to the latest 4.0.2 version ensures all the latest features and bug fixes are included.

Despite being extremely efficient for performing standard Git operations through a GUI, SourceTree offers limited additional "frills" compared to other similar tools, such as the inability to undo mistakes with a single keypress or click.
