Guess what? Enough people were interested. :)

comments: author: Jim Bethancourt
body: Maybe since Atlassian is already giving it away for free it could be open-sourced to allow for outside participation in the port.


author: Justin Arruda
body: Adding my request for a Windows port, please. Best git client I've used, bar none.

Edit: I hope you see the analytics for this page and it's 5k+ views are google referrals for "sourcetree windows" - and I'm hoping it's enough to warrant a port.


author: childnode
body: +1 == Interest + 1 ;)

@Jim: This whould be indeed the best solution, pushing SourceTree OpenSource on bitBucket!

c'mon Atlassian, think enterprise, there is no Mac or Windows only ecosystem, developers love and have to choose different workstations for different projects!


author: greg elofson
body: Half my team uses Mac OSX, and the other half Windows...with the mandated change coming up from Atlassian regarding adoption of DVCS, and the ease with which SourceTree provides Hg-flow, it would \*very\* helpful for us to have SourceTree for Windows (helps on policies and procedures, because we are not large enough to justify a Stash $$ purchase, but too large for the under 10 people Stash fees).


author: stevestreeting
body: It's fair to say we've received the message :) Thanks for all your votes of support, and stay tuned to our blog/twitter for future announcements!

author: Mike Naquin
body: What is the threshold for having "enough people interested?"

I think SourceTree would be a huge success on Windows.


author: eKyNoX
body: Hello,

+1 in my side for windows / linux support.

I currently search the way to host SourceTree on a Mac and stream execution content to windows, but did not find the way :P


author: Mark Haller
body: +1 for me too. Tower is beautiful and all Windows clients look ugly or are overcomplicated. Bring SourceTree to Windows


author: john visher
body: SourceTree is beautiful. There are no good free git clients for windows. Tower is expensive. Me and my people would love SourceTree on windows.

comments: author: MikeL
body: I only know one excellent client for Windows (Linux and OS X) - SmartGit. Tower is not expensive, just like SmartGit isn't. They are absolutely worth the price. Those who can't pay 100 bucks for a daily use tool, should question their job.


author: Martijn Heemels
body: Most of my Git work is actually hobby, not job, and I have a hard time justifying $100 for yet another tool to do that, no matter how good it is. I would gladly pay them something like $20-30, but not $100. Expensive is a relative measure, I guess :-)


author: MikeL
body: SmartGit is free for hobby use, IMHO Tower isn't. BTW, I don't need SourceTree for Windows any more because of SmartGit.


author: ericpar
body: Please, port SourceTree to Windows and GNU/Linux!!!

Thanks,

Eric

comments: author: kyrra
body: A linux version of SourceTree would be awesome! I'm fine with waiting until the Windows version is released, but I would love to see SourceTree for linux, even if it is only officially supported on a few distributions officially.


author: Marco Ryan
body: Myself and a few guys i work with are all interested in a Windows version. Would love to see a port!


author: Krystian Szczesny
body: To be honest... on Windows we already have quite a lot of git clients. Concentrate on Mac so that there are no trade offs made during porting and when trying to develop single code for both platform.

Take a look at Tower. You already have quite some catching up to do on Mac.

comments: author: Craig Blaszczyk
body: SourceTree works with more than just Git. We use Mercurial at my work, and I'm jealout that Mac colleagues can use this great piece of software! I'm stuck with TortoiseHG, which doesn't work as nicely as SourceTree


author: Justin Arruda
body: Please respond with a git client on Windows with feature parity with SourceTree on OSX. I would love to use something that's as good as it.


author: Tom Gault
body: SourceTree is definitely better than anything I've found for Windows so far. There are loads of clients out there but they just don't feel very polished. They look and feel like 1998. We'd love to see SourceTree ported!

comments: author: sfkleach
body: For Windows, try SmartGit. It's not as visually polished as SourceTree but it is a very effective tool and the development team are very responsive, turning around my bug within hours.


author: AlanJames1987
body: I love SourceTree and have been telling all my students and coworkers use it. Seeing a Linux port would solidify it as better than the terminal in my opinion.

A port to Wine, or Wine installation instructions would be good enough for me too.


author: Justin Israel
body: Huge +1 for linux support. I use SourceTree on OSX, and I have to use SmartGit on linux to get as close as possible to SourceTree, but there really is no replacement.

comments: author: Justin Israel
body: Update. SmartGit is a proper full replacement for SourceTree. I haven't used SourceTree in years now.


author: Max Berenson
body: We'd likely standardize the company on this if there were a Linux (Ubuntu) port. Any plans for Linux support?


author: fcornu
body: +1 for GNU/Linux version.

Released as .deb \& .rpm would be a must

comments: author: Justin Israel
body: I would have to say...if it worked on linux in any fashion whatsoever, I would be just as happy, regardless of the packaging :-)


author: Jan Swaelens
body: Please also consider the Linux port!


author: Angel Ruiz
body: Thank you Atlassian!!! Now a port for Linux. It should be easier that the Windows one :-) Good work!!!


author: Daniel Szasz
body: I would like to see and even to contribute to have a Windows port too ...


author: Lester Peabody
body: This could really use a Windows/Linux port.


author: Francisc
body: As superficial as that may sound initially, I only looked at the interface.

I use git bash normally, but need a UI for complicated merges.


author: Francisc
body: I'd love to see SourceTree on Windows.

comments: author: MikeL
body: Try smartGit.


author: nicolaes
body: It would be great to have SourceTree for Windows! I'm very interested in having it if you'd make a port.

Thanks,

Nicolae


author: Andreas B?hrnsen
body: +1 :)


author: Justin Arruda
body: Going to continue commenting on this because come on Atlassian...SourceTree makes Git a pleasure to use and we need it on Windows.

Linux would be nice as well, but understandably that'd be low priority.

comments: author: stevestreeting
body: Glad you like SourceTree and thanks for the enthusiasm. We are definitely listening, but that's all I can say at this point. :)


author: Edgar Chen
body: Also very interested in a Windows port; need to use Mecurial at work but there's any graphical client with good history browsing support


author: Martijn Heemels
body: Definitely interested in a Windows port. SourceTree is by far my favorite Git and HG client on OS X, and while Windows has some nice clients a good cross-vcs client is absent.


author: Adrian Georgescu
body: We really need it for Linux!

Thanks,

Adrian


author: Ruben Decleyn
body: +1 , used to work on mac for years, now im stuck on windows, lucky me i dont have a problem with cli


author: NikolasM
body: +1 I'd love to see this as well. I love using SourceTree on my Mac, and am sad when I'm on a Windows machine and can't use it ;)


author: Sean Farmar
body: +1 for windows version!


author: FrancescoP
body: I just can't help but using SourceTree. I have thrown away all of my other tools and repos and switched over to [bitbucket.org](http://bitbucket.org) too. I would LOVE a Windows version of SourceTree, as the best feature I'm missing right now is the GitFlow implementation.

Please, please, make a Windows version too.
