47 +EGit is a plugin for Eclipse 3.6. It's not as good as Tower or GitX, but you can use it for most tasks (add, commit, push, pull). You can install by:

57 57  I use Tower (bought it), but only for committing and fixing merge conflicts. I think Tower misses quite a bit of the flagship feature of GIT: branches. You can't see a branch tree graphically, like you can with gitX or even the command line (git log -graph -color, IIRC). But it's cool for committing. For everything else I use command line.

70 70  Rebasing is unique to git. There is no counterpart in Subversion.

72 72  Rebasing cuts down on the spaghetti history of merging and helps to keep history nice and linear.
