Update on March 10, 2011: The Git Tower team has extended to us a group discount that we can use until April 10, 2011. Use the code DRUPAL10 to get 10% off!
Hot on the heels of the recent Git on Mac OS discussion in the LA Drupal group, we're happy to offer the Drupal community a 25% discount code towards Gitbox by Oleg Andreev. Gitbox is an excellent user interface to the Git version control system that we at Exaltation of Larks find invaluable for our development work.
The discount code is LADRUPAL and it will work until April 9, 2011. Gitbox doesn't have a time-based trial period and purchasing a license unlocks the ability to manage unlimited repositories, so you can download and use Gitbox risk-free on a trial basis to manage up to 3 repositories. Gitbox also has a friendly per-user, multi-machine license.
If you're a student, you're eligible for a 50% discount so be sure to check the Gitbox website before using the LADRUPAL discount code.
Neither Exaltation of Larks nor LA Drupal get any kickbacks in the form of shared revenue from this promotion. As with the Path Finder discount offered last year, this is purely an offer to the Drupal community to help make people's work easier.

Great for Macheads
Thank you for sharing this with all of us, Christefano. This is awesome for all the Macheads in the audience (yes, I know that's like the majority).
Interesting note: I emailed Oleg to ask if there's a Linux version in the plans & he responded so quickly I was really amazed (no, was his answer). And yea, I know, the Linux version is the command line. =P

New to Git and Gitbox
Picked up Gitbox at a substantial discount (75% off). Looking forward to those instructions on using it with Drupal.org...
