GitSavvy vs SourceTree: What are the differences?

Developers describe GitSavvy as "Git integration in Sublime including per-line staging". Full git and GitHub integration with Sublime Text 3. On the other hand, SourceTree is detailed as "A free Git GUI client for Windows and macOS". Use the full capability of Git and Mercurial in the SourceTree desktop app. Manage all your repositories, hosted or local, through SourceTree's simple interface.

GitSavvy can be classified as a tool in the "Tools for Text Editors" category, while SourceTree is grouped under "Source Code Management Desktop Apps".

GitSavvy is an open source tool with 1.78K GitHub stars and 126 GitHub forks. Here's a link to GitSavvy's open source repository on GitHub.

Decisions about GitSavvy and SourceTree

I explored many Git Desktop tools for the Mac and my final decision was to use Fork. What I love about for that it contains three features, I like about a Git Client tool.

It allows * to handle day to day git operations (least important for me as I am cli junkie) * it helps to investigate the history * most important of all, it has a repo manager which many other tools are missing.
