A Better Command Line Experience

Coming in 18.0

Jump from your terminal straight to any view in Tower (History, Blame, the Working Copy, Branches Review, and more) with a single command.

Plus, the command line tool now stays up to date automatically with every Tower update.

Run gittower --help to see everything the Tower Command Line Tool can do.

Release Notes

Improved

  • Working Copy: Improved performance and reduced memory usage when selecting very large files.

  • Branches Review: Switching between branches stays responsive, even when a branch has many commits ahead of its base branch.

  • Branches Review: Reduced memory usage in large repositories. Branches Review now refreshes only when shown and uses a lighter merge check.

Fixed

  • Diff View: Fixed Tower freezing for several minutes after choosing “Show Diff” for a very large diff.

  • Branches Review: Fixed the commit list briefly showing commits from the previously selected branch when switching branches quickly.

  • Services: Fixed missing GitHub, GitLab, and Beanstalk information. Pull requests again show their creation date and open in the browser; comments appear in the correct order; and Beanstalk lists SSH keys.

  • Azure DevOps: Fixed pull requests on Azure DevOps Services being created in the wrong direction—from the base branch into your branch.

  • License: Fixed an outdated “Activation expires” notice that could appear after a license renewal.

No beta release notes available for this product at this time.
