"Great and simple Git Client tool"

4/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

It is very easy to use. It's great for those who are new to git and are unfamiliar with the many commands or how git works. The UI makes it easy to understand because your repo is visually laid out. The filtering is a great addition too. One of the best features is that you can see the branches all laid out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitKraken Desktop solving and how is that benefiting you?

GitKraken allows me to see my repo, my commits and anything else I need in the GUI rather than having to navigate to my repo's git website every time I want to view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
