GitKraken Reviews & Product Details

I can change easily between repositories with different accounts.

I can have different profiles related to the kind of work I'm doing

Commits are really easy to make and I can see all the changes that I or anyone on the team has been making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are repositories where I require a token and that is something painful when I don't have the access to get one.

The different pricing tiers are difficult to understand.

The tool should give hints related to what you're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installed GitKraken on Linux/Windows, and launched it for the first time. The on-boarding process is wonderful, each step of the initial settings is explained at detail. I set up the Github and Bitbucket credentials for my projects, loaded the correspondent SSH keys for my private servers, all in less than 5 minutes.

The cross plataform support is one of the best features. I cloned a repository to a Linux machine, made a few changes, staged the changes, then committed them. Finally, I made some changes on a different machine (Windows), and pushed those changes, and then pulled from my Linux machine in GitKraken, merging these changes in a breeze. So switching platform doesn’t mean switching tools or a slightly different experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it feels very slow and sluggish (on Windows).

And still have some missing features like:

-Interactive rebases.

-Quick find a repository.

-Spell check on messages.

-Being able to select multiple files at once to stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the build in merge and diff features and how it integrates with the rest of the app. Jira integration worked well and was a great nicety. Its support for having a single user across multiple systems is nifty when having to switch between different operating systems and beta operating systems where many would require a new license per os. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support is terrible and treats you like an idiot, they refuse to assume responsibility for issues and always assume its your repo and they suggest canceling your subscription if you do not like it.

They do not care if in any repo when you try to merge or rebase branches with more than a couple hundred file changes it can take hours or never complete when in tools like source tree it works fine and takes seconds and not hours. Basic operations even with 10 files changed can take a minute when all of these operations are instant in terminal or source tree. It also broke my repo many times when switching branches or rebasing. Also Git krakken sitting idle uses 50% of one of my cpu cores and will suck 100% if you do anything in it.

The layout is great. Visually, it is one of the best softwares for Git I have used. The workflow is good, easy to follow and not hard to find your next steps from commit to push. The opening interface is great, Modern, to the point and very user friendly. The easy access to working with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket covers the most common services out there.

The features of Boards and Timelines is great. This can help by eliminating the needs for additional softwares. There are some great templates to use to get you started, and the interface is easy to use. The Settings are comprehensive and well integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) You need to pay to use private repos. While I understand this is free for non commercial purposes, when you have numerous public and only a few private, it is really inconvenient to switch softwares. Especially when those private repos are private because they contain information that cannot be public without creating a security risk.

The code is outdated. As of the time of writing this, the Electron is quite out of date, and there are depreciated elements that I would not expect to see in a software that is a paid product. I have used a few times on my system, Ubuntu 18.04.5, and it will not recognize my GPG. I have no issues with any other software,... Atom, VSCode, GitAhead, GitHub Desktop, Evolution, LibreOffice, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the user interface as this makes it very easy to see how branches and merges are working. I also love the simplicity of it, without having to spend ages configuring everything like other code editors out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was more support for other external code editors - Brackets for example - as it is a bit limited otherwise. I would also like to see more support for different themes as this is more important to me than boards etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite piece of Gitkraken is the user interface but altogether it's extremely user-friendly and packed full of features. For example, the dark theme is easy on the eyes especially for those who are staring at a screen all day, Their integrated merge conflict tool is easy to use and the colors allow the user to understand what was changed. The integration with GitHub and Bitbucket is seamless and you are able to have multiple projects within one window instead of opening a new session. This tool is great for nondevelopment users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the initial load time of the software, I also wish for an automatic refresh option where I don't have to manually pull data if I don't want to. The tool is free for 30 days and after that, you'll have to pay what they're offering at the time. If there are any issues that the user does not like, it's not open source so the community is unable to help improve the software. With a community mainly build off developers I feel as though this would be beneficial. Coming back to the load times, it would be nice to have the tool use less RAM that it does. This major abundance of RAM usage does cause the tool to crash once in a while. On top of it being paid, the merge conflict feature is a paid-for feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitKraken Git GUI tool is one great innovation. It is very easy to use intuitive UI tool that lets anyone to get started with Git wiithout knowing the command line at all. I've been using the Git command line for quite some time. But I'm getting addicted to the GUI after I started using GitKraken as it's simple and easy to use. Everything happens with the click of a few options and the visual representation of each concepts and color coding for each of them makes it easier to understand and quick to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the UI but it sometimes get a bit slower and I do believe the awesome team will fix it soon in upcoming releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitKraken is one of the easiest tools to use to teach Git to our junior developers. The interface is well designed and makes it easy to find the operation you are looking for. The commit graph is one of our favorite features, as we can visualize who made which commit. Since GitKraken is cross platform, it is compatible with all of our work machines, so we have a consistent set of tools to use during our development workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've discovered that I sometimes discover new functionality that would have been useful in the past. Things like drag and drop branches to merge are not as evident within the user interface. Some may argue that this is pro rather than a con. Perhaps if I had delved into the documentation I would have discovered some of these features sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design is looking good, and it allows to perform all Git tasks in a nice GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of Preferences. I would really want to be able to customize some things in the app but the available settings are very very restricted to a few basic parameters. For example, I guess some "dangerous" tasks might require a confirmation before executing. As of now, you can mess with your project by clicking inadvertently on some buttons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design. GitKraken has an excellent design which compared to other gui clients really stands out. Especially for users that have not used git before it is very easy to use thanks to its intuitive design and has a steep learning curve. Apart from the intuitive design, GitKraken also offers a beautiful commit history, especially when working on multiple branches in a team. However, this is just a gimmick and most people will probably not care too much about it unless they have worked with it before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The loading time. On Windows, it loads quite long (around ten seconds) compared to the command line. You could save a lot of time by just using the command line to push new commits if you are familiar with git and its commands. This said, there are other git gui clients like GitHub Desktop that load faster while offering similar features. Nevertheless, GitKraken does stand out for its design and functionality.

- One tab per project is very convenient

- Pleasant to use daily to commit, pull, push, create branches and tags

- Beautiful dark theme

- Very recurring new releases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Boards and timeline new features doesn't feels useful for use

Free individual plan is no longer available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike other git client gitkraken has really beautiful dark and light themed gui with verry intuitive design , it's cross platform compatible because of electron on the top of which it is built. The feature to connect gitkraken with github, gitlab , or gitbucket through oauth is simply verry useful, the way it supports gitflow out of the box adds one more feather on the cap, it's feature to show all pull request of a particular branch on that branchs graph reduces lot of redundancy , it's easy to use and developers with no experience can also get their hands dirty Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1.As it is built on the top of electron so it require some more space compared to non electron applications

2. It's verry rare but i have faced this issue, while resetting changes in large number i.e in tens of thousands gui crashes some time

3. Some time takes 5,6 seconds in loading some of the repositories

4.cannot use more than one repository in one session Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI looks gorgeous and you can select from light and dark themes. I can manage my Repositories, and organize with it easily. Github and BitBucket easy integrated and can be used without a trouble. Helps me understand project structure and the different features that are being worked on in various branches.Drag and Drop. Everything (well, many things) seems to be as simple as Drag and Drop.

It is one of the best system for comparing version control in a project and integrating development teams to your repositories allows you to work with systems such as git flow to create sub modules to a repository and chain of independent repositories in a large project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike except the fact that it takes significant amount of time to start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best feature that I like is undo and redo option, save lots of time and efforts. UI is wonderful specially the DARK theme. Easy to use, anybody can use it even at first time not much learning required. Easy to integrate with Github and Bitbuket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's gets time to start. It will be great I we can push and pull multiple remote at a time. If we can see old commits then it will be plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the help of Gitkraken i really started to understand why git does things the way it does.Following feature i like about GitKraken:

1. No.1 visual representation of all team members push and commit.

2. My favorite feature in Gitkraken is Undo feature.

3. Allows you to see which local branch you are currently in and to switch between them freely.

4. There are distinct line changes as such for when you do like a regular push versus a merger rebase and this usefuless is magnified as i can see who has push or merge.

5. Gitkraken Glo Boards

Git visualization tool has slowly come out and there are few decent ones out there but i have never seen anything as well designed as Gitkraken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing beautiful comes free. Gitkraken is costly and because of that people try to avoid using it or they use traditional command line approach. Cannot display very old commits which is not great as it could be a big problem in long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In gitkraken everything is super easy , undo redo is as good as clicking buttons, branching,staging, pushing, pulling everything can be done on the go with just button click. In other git clients there were lot of cli operations were involved, so to make gitkraken accessible and useful to every developer they have made it more simple and beautiful.in Gitkraken all the other git clients can be accessed so making gitkraken one stop solution for version controling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now i haven't found something that i diskike but some of my colleagues have complain about crashing of gui in order of heavy load and response time in loading of some verry heavy repositories, yeah and thing about gitkraken is its space requirements for starters as it is built on the top of electron ,but in my opinion space should not be a problem because nowadays ram is not a big deal compared to the benefit and features provided by gitkraken Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to commit and push from repository easily. It is free trail for long period. Easy to resolve merge conflicts. User friendly. Easy to use. very good user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not completely open source.we need to login to server if we need free version of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its so simple and so visual, you can see your branches, commits, stashes. You can even deploy git flow on the project and work with it perfectly. Just 3 clicks to push to a branch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe, just maybe, the colors and the user avatars, would be awesome to be able to add your own images to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

in my first time with Git bash ( the first interface) was very difficult to manage, until i met git kraken. for me is visual and easy to use. and i can manage every my commits and changes without problems. In my opinion, git kraken is better is good for users who are just beginning to use this type of file handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i dislike the dark contrast! i prefer white contrast so i change to light contrast , Also in my opinion, the interface and the Git Kraken Map is some confucious because the lines are mixed when there are 10 users or more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitKraken is fast and easy to use, as well as easy to learn, even with some of the more advanced concepts like rebasing, cherrypicking and squashing commits. Finding content is easy, and I rarely have had problems with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Several of my colleagues had their git repositories (local only) corrupted and had to reclone to get back to normal. The error reporting was not always helpful in determining the root cause, and even though we never lost any data, it was somewhat tedious Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. We can commit our changes.

2. We can stag our changes.

3. We can soft, hard commit oir previous changes.

4. Open any git repository.

5. Merge and resolve conflicts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Sometimes create problem while merging the conetents.

2. More than 1 commits cant be made at a time.

3. Sometimes .git file get crashed. That can't be recovered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a well laid out IDE where the GIT operations are easily accessible, having a dark-mode to help with eye strain, seeing which branches has commits & if it needs to be pulled down to get the latest changes & ability to jump between multiple repositories within a matter of seconds.

Also has multiple GIT service logins (Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket, VSTS) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On occasions you have to restart on the application on Linux as it hangs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cant even describe it. Git Kraken is the only bit of software for managing a Git Client that is constantly a pleasure to use.

Everything makes sense and is intuitive. From the GIT begginer to the seasoned pro, gitkraken has no competitors that come anywhere close.

I think the only thing you cant do, as far as I know, is branch filter - but I'd love to be proven wrong! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just the price! I'd love to have a one off fee for continued pro use.

Maybe you cant branch filter, but it's not something I use often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A interface visual faz com que você descubra o que seus repositórios estão fazendo, onde estão e como funcionam de maneira muito simples. Também é ótimo poder personalizar o layout e os estilos, se necessário. É fácil de usar e tem um ótimo design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Não muito, talvez a interface do usuário pudesse ser mais limpa. Um dos pontos que eu não gostei é a falta de facilidade ou integração que nos dá ao executar comandos avançados O produto é um pouco caro, se eu for honesto Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing about git kraken is the cherry pick commit feature. Any commit can be cherry picked and added to the branch..This helps to choose only required code.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The authentication will be lost sometimes and should login again . It sometimes wastes the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
