"Git Kraken: The Best Tool for Git Management and Version Contrilling in One Go"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

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.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

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.

"GitKraken Client Application review"
4.5/5
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"
4/5
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.

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.
