Atlassian Acquires SourceTree
Atlassian, the development tools/hosting vendor, has announced its acquisition of SourceTree.
Atlassian has been adding to its product and services portfolios over the past few months, and this latest acquisition helps to solidify its OS X / Mac support, by bringing in a standalone SCM client that supports Subversion, Mercurial, and Git. The company is SourceTree, with its eponymous product, and it is one of the few contenders in the small market for commercial dedicated “Subversion and newer” SCM tools.
Occasionally, as a result of these acquisitions, some companies offer deals to sweeten the deal and attract developer interest. In this case, free SourceTree licenses are available for a limited time.
