GitKraken Reviews & Product Details

✅ GitKraken offers a visually rich and technically robust suite of Git tools designed to streamline source control workflows for individuals and teams. The core GitKraken Desktop client stands out for its commit graph visualization, making it straightforward to interpret complex branching and merging histories. The UI is modern and intuitive, supporting both dark and light themes, and provides drag-and-drop actions for operations like merge, rebase, and push, which simplifies intricate Git commands into accessible interactions.

✅ The platform supports seamless integrations with major Git hosting services including GitHub, GitLab (and self-hosted), Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. This enables direct repository management, pull request creation, and code review workflows without context switching between tools. The built-in code editor features syntax highlighting, diff split view, and search capabilities, allowing for quick edits and conflict resolution within the same environment.

✅ GitKraken’s multi-profile support is useful for managing work and personal projects separately. The tool also includes advanced Git features such as Gitflow, Git Hooks, LFS, and submodule management, catering to more complex repository requirements. For teams, Glo Boards provide integrated issue and task tracking, with real-time sync to GitHub Issues, custom workflows, and granular permissions, reducing the need for external project management tools.

✅ The ecosystem extends beyond the desktop client: GitLens for VS Code enhances in-editor Git visibility and history navigation, while the GitKraken CLI and browser extension offer flexibility for command-line and web-based workflows. The platform’s AI-powered features aim to accelerate code reviews and unblock developer workflows, reflecting a focus on developer experience (DevEx) at scale.

The learning curve for advanced features can be noticeable, especially when configuring integrations or leveraging enterprise-level capabilities such as custom workflows and Git hooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used GitLens a lot in my daily environment. It is very easy to implement and integrate with git repositories and has plenty of features, for managing my git history. It has helped me debug what code has reverted things who has contributed what and in which PR. It's indeed an amazing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, nothing, the only thing to improve could be to make it more beginner-friendly, to understand things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the versatility and cross-platform compatibility of GitKraken. We have developers all over the world who use different types of machines and it still works great. It is easy to use, and setup, and we use it all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a little slow, and it also there are some things that I wish were more customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
