GitKraken Desktop Reviews & Product Details

I got GitKraken Pro under the GitHub Student Developer Pack back in 201 7. I've been using it ever since, for both personal projects and professional work. The ease of use is what I like the most about the service. I'm a visual person and love to use software with great UI. Getting to see the commit-graph visually is one of the best perks.

Also, you can have boards and timelines, so it eliminates the use of any other list-making application, and GitKraken acts as an all-in-one solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is slow on my mac when dealing with big projects with multiple developers and branches. Managing and editing conflicting commits in the code editor is sometimes a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can work with my whole team, from across the ocean, to build our products and websites. It's collaborative and integrates with other platforms seamlessly. It is highly functional for managing our commits and branches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the UI challenging to work with in the beginning. For what I am doing in GitKraken I have become accustomed to it quickly. When I have to deviate from what my current project requires Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout and UI designs are very slick and easy to use & understand. The menu navigation is very well laid out as well as the graphical tree structure as well. Comments and additional info are easy to read; there is no reason to ever log into the web-based repository if you have this premium tool! When we needed to make more complex changes like rebasing, merging, or running cmd prompts to change hidden config files, the GUI tool was up to the task. This tool is equally as great for both beginner users as well as advanced, which I find very hard to find these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a free version, but it is eventually required to go with a paid subscription. You cannot work on private repositories under the free version, so to try the product out you only have 7 days to evaluate if working with a private repo. I understand how and why they have set this up, but just something to keep in mind when comparing different GUI products out there for GIT GUI solutions. I did have trouble with having my security key stay associated with my project in the program but not sure where that issue stemmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used most of the most popular UI Git clients and I think Git Kraken is the best looking. As its UI and interface are simple and sleek whenever I need to use a UI for GIT this is my go-to tool. I find it really easy to view the branch history to see whats been gogin on within the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we used it on repositories that used Gerrit , it wass often quicker to use the command line to do more complex tasks. Now Git Kraken has the terminal view this isn't an issue any more, so not much bad to say about it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitKraken is a visual software for GIT, for those who are starting out or are still intermediate or just don't like CLI, GitKraken makes using GIT much easier and even learning about GIT. I always wanted to use GIT but always had trouble understanding how to use it via CLI, SSH key authentication among other things, GITKraken makes all of this easier, it has native integrations with GITHUB and BITBUCKET and also others, which allows you to create an automatic SSH key and you operate everything using buttons, it really is a helping hand.

The lack of billing in Brazil, unfortunately, we are forced to pay in DOLLARS, this is quite complicated, it would be interesting to have a special pricing and billing policy for Brazil. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a tool that significantly simplifies the use of git, handy for the versioning of your projects; you can also implement git-flow, recommended for large development teams or if you want to work alone, it considerably simplifies all the commands, and if the command console does not It's your thing, you won't have to worry about it anymore Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps for me, what works in favor of some users, is what I would not say that I like, the graphical interface can make you forget some commands because you do not use them, and if you eventually do not have access to the software, you will have to learn them again.

GitKraken is relatively easy and elegant to use.

I like the ease of use, when i started using it i diidnt require much time to figure out how i need to start commiting work, or staging changes it was a good experience, i didnt need a tutorial of how to! this is a plus because i need to not to waste time, i just like how it gives me a good control over my commits and history Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It looks heavy on the use and takes time to load projects but in general its a good experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The feature Git Kraken provides to regularize git repositories is very user-friendly. The GUI for git graph analytics and other GitHub service management such as git PR, merge, pull, push, rebase is simply outstanding. There was a time when I faced a lot of difficulties managing git branches and the versions. After I learned to use Git Kraken, everything felt buttery smooth and easy as water flow. Again while collaborating with peer colleagues, I consistently have to switch, merge and rebase different branches.

Furthermore, using only the Git terminal seems so old-school and annoying. Moreover, Only using the Git terminal can be intimidating and troublesome as we can not track the Git graphs in real-time. In Git Kraken, I can continuously switch between different branches and consistently pull, push and merge updates from other branches, which is close to impossible using the git terminal. Again, the smoothness and the flexibility Git Kraken provides boosts my productivity 1000 times more than using the traditional git terminal. Again, while asking for a pull request, Git Kraken can do it in a button click where the git terminal can take it hours at times. So, as a Software Engineer, I can not but think of using my day without using Git Kraken nowadays because GitHub has become such a massive part of my life, and to manage such a workflow, Git Kraken is a must for me.

I think the configuration procedure of Git Kraken. is a bit confusing and intimidating. I faced problems several times while connecting Git Kraken with my GitHub, as well as the BitBucket account. First of all, the device-specific RSA key configuration is very troublesome because I could not connect to my GitHub using Git Kraken's built-in RSA configuration system. Thus I had to configure the Git Kraken with my GitHub manually, which was annoying and time-consuming. Nevertheless, connecting to the remove requires a second step configuration where I had to add the remote repository's ssh url, which doesn't make any sense in the pull, push, and PRs. Nevertheless, the preferences tab is very buggy as well as laggy, which takes a lot of time to load and hampers productivity. In my case, it takes at least 30 seconds to load the settings and preferences tab, which I find very intimidating. Again while managing pull requests at times Git Kraken creates unnecessay issues which is confusing and hampers development productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
