What git GUI tool would you recommend for Windows and Mac?
I adopted Git as my primary source control tool a couple of years ago, when I was using Windows as my primary (90%) desktop OS. File compare utility. Since then I’ve switched to 75% Mac OSX, but I still use Git on Windows for a few projects, and I get a lot of questions about Git on Windows. SmartGit - This premium Git client can run on Windows, Mac and Linux. It has several smart features and is best suited for professional teams working on big projects.

I have tried SourceTree. While I find it nice, it crashes every once in a while. Drawing app for mac. Anyone would suggest something instead and why?

For a cross platform git GUI you could try GitKraken:
- Cross-platform
- 100% standalone, i.e. just install it and it runs (you don't have to even install git).
- Built in merge tool
- Free (Gratis) but closed source (possible non-free pro version in the pipeline)
- GitHub & BitBucket integration.
- Keyboard Shortcuts

TortoiseGit is a good one for Windows. It integrates into the context menu and allows you to right-click on files/folders and perform Git operations. It also overlays icons so you can see at a glance the status of files and folders. TortoiseGit has useful displays and graphs of the revision history. Unfortunately, TortoiseGit is not available for Mac.

Of course, as was mentioned above, there are other GUI's for Windows and Mac.

I've always gotten on well with Atlassian's SourceTree.
It's very 'native' and works well with git / hg.
