GitKraken Client — Legendary Git client with an intuitive GUI & powerful CLI

GitKraken was where I finally got into using rebase as part of my daily flow. It has really helped me work through quite a number of complicated merges as well

Pros:

- Beautiful

- easy to setup and use

- smooth integration with GH, BB, GL

- Turned rebasing into a joy

- high cadence of updates

Cons:

In rare cases it can take a few seconds to pick up on changes

I have been using GitKarken since the beta (almost two years already!) and after testing many other Git GUIs, it is hands down the best solution out there. I upgraded to pro about a year ago, and could not be happier with this tool. From the amazing UI, to the on the ball bug fixing, humorous release notes, and of course the amazing feature set, this team has done so much right. To highlight one of my personal favorites, the drag-and-drop rebase/merge functionality has been extremely helpful in keeping a nice understandable git history. Also, the slack community is amazing!

I've already wondered why GitKraken isn't on ProductHunt. GitKraken is definitely my favourite Git Client. Good job! 😊

I have been using GitKraken for over a year now. It started off good and has gotten even better. The UI is really intuitive and easy to use, assuming you understand basic git vocabulary and concepts. I have used all the "competitors" (tower, sourcetree, github desktop, etc) and this is the one I like the most so far. I still use the command line for 90% of my git tasks, such as doing a quick commit or push. But I find myself opening GitKraken whenever I want to do something more complicated like moving a tag from one commit to another. While I could do it in the command line, it requires you to read through the logs, find the commit hashes, copy them and do some other voodoo. With gitkraken I can just drag the tag onto the commit in the visual tree that I want it to be in. I also find myself using GitKraken for doing merges with conflicts. Managing conflicts with GitKraken is easy and straightforward. Ill probably jump on the product hunter coupon for the premium product. I have been managing mostly personal projects and maintaining open source packages, but I feel like I should contribute to its success.

Have been using GitKraken for over a year now, and love it deeply. It has saved us a lot of time by allowing us to fix complex git blunders easily. Would recommend to anyone getting started with Git. Great tool!

Pros:

Ease of use, dark theme, a robust Git Graph, stability, in-built Merge tool

Cons:

A better way to add quick commits can be added along with UI improvements

I love Gitkraken. I use it for private projects since a co-worker told me about this tool. It's sexy, fast and functional. Everything you need.

Pros:

UI/UX, Functionality

Cons:

optimizing the UX

I've been using gitkraken for my hobby projects for a while now and I\m going to take this to my professional stack soon as well. It's a very good git client that integrates extremely well with common hubs such as gitlab, github and bitbucket. Finally I can ditch Sourcetree. :)

Pros:

Very nice UI. Powerful and easy to use merge tool. Simple and effective drag and drop interface. Intuitive.

Cons:

It has the occasional crash, but I'm expecting the devs to improve on this.

Hey Product Hunters 👋 This is Sara, from the cephalopod-obsessed 🐙 team at Axosoft— AKA the developers of GitKraken! As Jack mentioned, GitKraken is a Git GUI client for software devs using Windows, Mac and Linux. We’ve been working really hard to create a visual UI for Git that’s not only beautiful, but is also a true time-saver for Git beginners and pros. GitKraken simplifies complicated commands into drag and drop actions. It makes working with remote repositories easier through integrations with GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. It allows you to resolve merge conflicts without ever leaving the app. And it supports Gitflow, Git Hooks, LFS, and more. Best of all, it’s free for non-commercial, educational and startup use! Download it at GitKraken.com/ph, and if you love the product and want to use it commercially, use promo code: PRODUCTHUNT 💰 to get $10 off GitKraken Pro when you upgrade. I’m dying to know what you all think! Please share your feedback 🙏 and I’ll be around to answer any questions you may have. Cheers 🍻

A great tool to allow non-tech people to contribute to a Git project.

Pros:

Git, now faster, thanks to this brilliant interface.

Stage + commit + push in one keyboard shortcut 🤘

Cons:

I don't feel like a developer anymore now that I use a GUI 😛

Made the jump from Sourcetree after their Windows app started getting really bloated and slow, really enjoy the speed difference between the two, and dark themes always give a bonus.

As stated above, the only feature from ST I'd like to see in GK is the ability to push tags with commits, and push all tags

Pros:

- Lovely GUI

- Easy to use and read visually

- Pretty intuitive

Cons:

- Setting up auth with Git providers was a pain

- No option to push tags with commits (have to push them separately and individually)

I've tried Github's client, Tower, Webstorm's Integrated Git UI, SourceTree and Gitkraken is definitely the client I am most confortable with. It is really easy to track all of your team's changes thanks to its tons of features.

Pros:

The best git GUI out there IMHO

Cons:

I'd like to be able to open several windows with a repo in each one.

I have been using this product for almost 6 months now. Started using it because I had a pro offer via my GitHub education package. GitKrakken really eases my work on collaborating with Git. It helps me analyze my project roadmap, the changed I made, and also to revert back if I did any mistake (which I do most of the time😉😉). I can say this very gladly, that it a must application for every developer who works on their projects using Git.

I've been using GitKraken for more than a year now and I do not want to go back to anything else. I tried the official visual client of Github and SourceTree from Bitbucket but they don't come close to what GitKraken is capable of. It's super intuitive for git beginners and still has all the advanced functionality that you need when things might get messy. The cool thing is: GitKraken actually helps you to keep your git workflow clean by visually displaying it. One thing I like to mention as well is the constant stream of updates and improvements the team at Axosoft is making to the product. They update the application and fix problems on a regular basis. Gitkraken has never let me down during my work and that's why I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to work with git and doesn't want to fiddle with the console / terminal.

The best GUI for Git in my opinion. Higher than official Github GUI.

Pros:

Perfect GUI, Easy to use, multi platform

Cons:

Bugs in screens with so many branchs

I been using GitKraken for 2 years (or more) and it's one of my daily developer tools as a front end developer, super easy useful when working with teammates. Commit changes and then push them, its one of the most easy actions of GitKraken 🙌 - Easy to use - Great UI and dark mode - GitHub integration it's super helpful - Perfect for beginners

You can get Gitkraken Pro for free for a year if you are a student.

Pros:

easy to use

easy to see history of your repo

easy to stage what you want when yo want

I can work in Bitbucket and Github smoothly

Cons:

startup used to be slow, but I believe it has improved with the latest update

Some time ago, it was necessary to register to use it. Awful. Don't know if it is still the case.

Pros:

None so far.

Cons:

Instability and bad UI

This is the tool I use every day for multiple different things. It's made my process of developing a lot easier. It's also super beginner friendly, which is something not a lot of tools take into consideration.

One of the best educational tools to visualize git repositories. - As a junior developer this software taught me most of what I know about git and will really help you understand what is happening inside a repo. - As a senior developer this helps me keeping track of active branches and who's working what.

GitKraken is a mixed bag. It is definitely a good GUI for Git. It has some nice ideas in the UI, such as quick branch creation, quick commiting, isolating branches for viewing and so on.

However the framework it is built in limits it greatly. The application is slow, only displays one repository and has to be launched multiple times to display more. Diffs are only viewable inside the main window as well.

Pros:

- Works on Mac/Windows and especially Linux

- Is quite intuitive

Cons:

- Very very slow

- Slow switching between repos, GUI for this could be better
