"Version control made easy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

Their interface is clean, modern, and very easy to use as it is very structured. It is a much better version than the regular git clients you can get for free. I find it very easy to go back in history and look at the changes as well as review the commits that were made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

Nothing that I was able to come across yet. It might be a little difficult to navigate if you are used to some other applications to view your git tree, but it is not a big learning curve at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most technically advanced Github client on the market"

4/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

THe integration of gitkraken with windows and connection to Gitlab and Github is super efficient and easy to use, although it requires sone technical setup initially to have the pull and push request work without issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

The technical requirement of the seetup and use make it challenging at some points.

Also with no direct visibility on the live go on Github/lab; you need to make sure you have proper backups to be able to recover Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Repository with Rich UI"

4.5/5

Occasionally it gets a timeout when getting the latest or checking-in large files at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Get even more control with GitKraken"

5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

Besides the fantastic Interfaces, you have all easily git functionalities. It's impressive how GitKraken has control of all your code (in my case, it is code) and presents you in a visual way that is impossible to mistake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

The only negative thing I can say about this tool is: the free version does not give you access to private repos. Yes. It's only this complaint. But you can easily buy it and have all the wonder and power of the Kraken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitKraken Desktop:

If you are looking for a complete tool that's deal with everything related to version control, that's the tool you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In big projects with more than two developers, merging issues is always a problem. With GitKraken, you can solve conflicts quickly and beautifully, showing all possibilities to fix them comparing files side by side, with colorful differences to identify visually.

It's just incredible the work them have done. I congratulate them for been a Developer who cares about developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you can pay $5 for it, this is the best Git management tool!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

The GUI is really easy to use, and really practical, you can do everything that you need for an easier and faster git repo management, from merge, to rebase or the basic operations... But I really really love the GUI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

It gets laggy sometimes, and if you can't pay for it you lose really useful features like using private repos... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitKraken Desktop:

If you hate using the CLI, this is "almost" your best option, but since most of us works with private repos you're going to need to pay for it, so if you have the $5 usd, GO, BUY IT, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, JUST BUY IT Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I hate running CLI commands (and mostly hate fix merge conflicts) and the Github official GUI is really really bad! so I'm in love with Gitkraken avoiding my stress of using the git CLI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fills a much required gap"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

It was a little hard earlier to remember multiple git commands and work with not-so-good-looking git CLI. With GitKraken, it helps to avoid looking for some cheatsheet every time I have to merge someone's contribution or do some activities that are pretty rare to process. It gives a very cool-looking GUI where you are getting features like GitKraken CLI and GitKraken Boards and Timelines to visualize over-contribution by different contributors better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

It is very stable and simple to use. I still would love to customize themes to make it a little simpler as it is currently looking quite fancy to work with it. I also would love it if they could provide such visualization on the terminal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitKraken Desktop:

If you are a student, please make use of the GitHub backpack as with it, you can get its pro license for free while you are a student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitKraken is now become my daily companion to work with repositories and to have a detailed look over-contribution to any project. I like that they provide its pro license for free to students through GitHub Backpack ( You can get its information through this link https://www.gitkraken.com/student-resources).
