SourceTree I leave running all the time, mainly for the useful view described above. Those are the three best new clients, in my opinion. So now there is really no reason not to get the best git client for Mac. Even better, SourceTree is now free "for a limited time". That is probably good news, because it means more resources behind ST. This week, Atlassian (maker of JIRA and other stuff) announced that they had acquired SourceTree (and Steve Streeting). Developer Steve Streeting was productive and responsive, churning out stable improvements.

Update : SourceTree is good enough that it gradually displaced all other git clients.

App Store or buy direct, £35 download direct free. Less attractive than Tower but with more power. It also has some other various geeky power-user options for merge commits and rebasing and whatnot. So each of my Macs has probably 30-40 repositories checked out, and SourceTree is the app I switch to when I need to quickly see if any of them have outstanding changes to push or upstream commits to pull.

I work on about 20 different projects in a given week (several for work, including git submodules of my main project, plus various personal repos), and I work at the office and also at home and sometimes on the road. Depending on your workflow, this can be really important.
One is its Repositories window, which gives you a single place to see the status of ALL your repositories. For git, it is fantastic, with a few unique features that really stand out. Notably, it supports Mercurial as well as git, though I don't use hg and cannot comment on that. is a tremendously promising client released in October 2010 and steadily improving since. The one-repo-at-a-time limitation is too insane for me to deal with, though. Update : I no longer use Tower much either, although it remains the prettiest. In free beta, pricing to be announced later. It is also kind of slow, and for truly huge repositories it is so slow it doesn't work at all. But with that limitation, it's far from clear. Remove that crippling (and frankly weird) limitation, and I believe this would be the clear winner at present. But then you crash into the single, jaw-dropping, earth-shattering design flaw: it can only view one repository at a time. Great history view, pretty much has all the features I remember from gitx, but with an attractive Mac design (a la Versions).

It is easily the most attractive client, and very full featured. is a client I heard of just a day after I bought GitBox. It still is about the simplest UI out there. Update : I no longer use GitBox, and most of the people I know who do are not programmers, but authors and such. Can use external Mac diff/merge apps like FileMerge, Changes, BBEdit, etc. You wonder if its developer has the resources to really keep this app improving at a good pace. But it's the only git client without the familiar lines-and-dots branch graphing, and it feels perhaps too simple.
It is the only git client that has never once crashed on me-a good sign. It has fewer features, but is much more clean and solid-feeling than gitx. was the first of these recent clients that I heard of, and it is pretty good. Meanwhile, some of the older runner-up recommendations, like Gity, just never achieved enough traction to get very good, and their future doesn't look bright. I was grateful for it in its day, but it has been eclipsed by some of these newcomers. I no longer recommend gitx (or its forks). Until very recently, there was no git client for the Mac (or any other platform, for that matter) that was even remotely close to as polished and elegant as Subversion clients such as Versions or Cornerstone. However, now in 2011, several more visual git clients for the Mac have been released, and the competition is finally stiff. When this question was asked, I think the correct answer was almost certainly
