SourceTree

If you need to work with Mercurial or Git, there are few ways that are simpler or faster than SourceTree. Either DVCS can be used in the software, and you can take advantage or subversion servers with the software as well. You won't have to deal with the command line anymore when you use the power of SourceTree. Repositories that are either hosted onsite or offsite can be managed from the intuitive SourceTree user interface in the desktop app, and you'll have full access to everything that Mercurial and Git can do. If you have no experience with DVCS, SourceTree is one of the best options on the market. It has the ability to teach users how to deal with Mercurial and Git, and you can use the software to pull, push, merge, clone, commit, create, and much more. All of those functions are as simple as a single click in the software. One of the best things about SourceTree is that it can still be used by professionals even though it is simple enough for beginners. The software is excellent at what it does, so if you are already adept at Mercurial and Git, you'll be able to reach new heights of productivity. The software is capable of patch handling, shelving, stashing, rebasing, change-set reviews, and branch cherry-picking. These tools are more than comprehensive enough for even the most talented Mercurial and Git developers. As soon as the SourceTree software is downloaded and installed, it will be able to handle Hg-flow and Git-flow. This means the software is designed to work with the existing workflow found in those distributed version control systems. The development model used by both Mercurial and Git is a bit branchy in terms of how it progresses, but that helps make the process more efficient overall while maintaining clean repositories with little or no junk data. The development process is one of the biggest areas of contention when it comes to distributed version control systems, but SourceTree makes it so simple that you don't really have to do anything except install the software and get to work. The main difference between a distributed version control system and a classic centralized version control system is that the DVCS is able to promote faster development since every system in the network receives its own up to date copy of the new software. This makes it easy for users to work privately before publishing their final work for everyone to see. This allow helps as a remote system for backing up valuable data that could be lost in a centralized version control system.
