"Great tool for business and personal use"
What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

The ease of managing CI Orchestrations and Workflows as well as a simple visual representation of your branches and repositories. This is especially helpful for developers working with a high volume of distinct repositories across multiple projects. It is also a fantastic way to visualize the commitment tree and timeline of your repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GitKraken Client Application review"
What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

GitKraken Client is one of the best tools for Git in the open market. It is very easy to use and also elegant in a way that its user friendly. It also offers a graphical interface which makes it very easy to use for all the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

GitKraken Client uses an overlay of graphics for the git commands, which contribute to the system's memory usage and results in system locks and overuses. This client also requires some additional utilities to be installed before using, making it a little more complex for new users to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A fairly organized tool for those of us who love branching"
What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

I really like the interface and how the structure of several child branches is shown from the main branch of a project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

I would like that there could be a way to better locate a branch, that is, to be able to find more information about a branch and its origin, sometimes it is difficult to locate specific branches when working within dynamic teams. Maybe improve the information of a branch, given the date, the committed files, and maybe the size of each file made regarding to the last commit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Git UI tool so far"
What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

It's very easy to understand how branches and commits are working to the new developers. It's very handy and sometimes very helpful when you are managing multiple branches at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

Too much of use could limit your Knowledge base if you ever work on cloud server and manage repo/codebase remotely. I'm not sure if Gitkraken has a feature to see all commands in real time when somebody perform some action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free version should give access to private repo so that newbies can know what this can do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Who knew versioning could be this fun"
What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

I really love the interface. It is very catchy to the eye. I also love all the defeatists they have for students. There's plenty of student discounts and free trials for students as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

Something I dislike is that while it the UI is very cool and modern, it can also be very dense when you're running a computer with low ram. This means closing other programs you're using to have this one up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is very heavy, it takes a lot to load, and it feels very sluggish, even for small repositories and simple actions. It also crashes a lot and has corrupted a lot of my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
