Recent releases have added some genuinely useful features. AI Commits let you generate commit messages and descriptions with one click, right from the commit area โ handy for when writing a good commit message is the last thing you feel like doing. Automatic Branch Archiving takes care of housekeeping by detecting stale or fully merged branches and archiving them for you, so your sidebar doesn't fill up with clutter over time.
For teams with their own conventions, Custom Git Workflows let you define a branching model from scratch โ trunk/topic branches, prefixes, merge strategies โ or start from templates like git-flow or GitHub Flow, with one-click "Start/Finish Feature" actions to guide you through it. Tower also has Graphite Integration built in, covering stack creation, restacking, PR submission, and merge queue support without leaving the app.
Two more additions support more advanced setups: Worktree Support, for checking out and working on multiple branches at once, and Stacked Branches, which track parent-child relationships between branches so you can work with stacked pull requests and restack a whole chain with a single action.
Rounding things out, Commit Templates let teams reuse commit message formats across a repository, with quick keyboard access when you need one.
Tower TailScaleTower is recommended for software developers and teams who need a robust and efficient graphical interface for Git. It's particularly useful for those who prefer a visual alternative to command-line Git management, as well as for development teams looking for a collaborative environment that integrates well with other tools in their workflow.
They make the already great wireguard even better! Installation and configuration is a breeze, can easily connect to machines behind firewall(s) without altering anything.
Definitely made life easier.

Tailscale + exit node for clean IP rotation. - Source: dev.to / 20 days ago
Tailscale is how every machine in the stack is reachable from outside the local network. All four machines are on the same Tailnet, which means I can reach any service from anywhere without opening ports or maintaining a VPN server. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
Still the most reliable setup, honestly. SSH into your machine over Tailscale (or Mosh if your connection is rubbish), reattach your tmux session, carry on. Free, works everywhere, been around forever. The downside is it's all terminal and you need to know your way around. Not exactly mobile-friendly either. Typing SSH commands on a phone keyboard is proper painful. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
The entire system runs on three machines connected via Tailscale mesh VPN:. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
ClickHouse's BYOC also uses an outbound-only channel for management traffic. Control-plane connectivity from the ClickHouse VPC to the customer's BYOC VPC is provided over a Tailscale connection that is outbound-only from the customer's BYOC VPC. ClickHouse engineers must request time-bound, audited access through an internal approval system; they can only reach system tables and infrastructure components, never... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
