"Fantastic version control manager with lot of extra under the hood"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

Easiest merging process ever. If there are merge conflicts fixing them is very easy withing the integrated GitKraken merging tool.

The tree view is very easy on the eyes, it even shows people's pictures on every action. Fantastic.

The overall design and colours in the app are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

Sometimes on large projects with many branches, the app can take a while to load.

Sometimes when performing some operations like stashing or even commit and push can take a moment and it is not clear whether the application is doing something or not.

Consumes substantial amount of resources, especially if you leave the auto-fetch interval to the default 1 minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitKraken Desktop:

GitKraken can consume a bit chunk of both memory and CPU, but it is the best Git Tool for any size of team and project complexity.

Not recommended to install on servers or productions environment for the same reason. GitKraken includes some extra stuff that are intended for development environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main benefit our development team has gotten from GitKraken is having a streamlined repository management and usage process. We've reduced the amount of time consumed from the Senior Developers which usually code reviews and take care of the merging process. GitKraken has made it easier for our day to day coding. Also onboarding is so much intuitive for new team members.

In the past some members even prefered to use the Git command line for basic operations like stashing, poping, pull, merging, and sometimes the result could be confusing depending on the complexity of the project in hand. With GitKraken even on a large project we are able to easy perform the desired operations and reduced the frequency and time that we have to sit and review what we did if we cause some conflicts.

"GitKraken, strong with good graphic interface"

4/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

What I like most about using GitKraken is that it is easier to use, because you do not have to memorize commands, besides seeing the result in an image is easier to process, because "an image is worth more than 1000 words".

Also, the possibility of condensing processes in a couple of clicks, saving many complicated lines.

the possibility of having comfortably stored credentials. You can manage multiple members repositories easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

One of the points that I did not like is the lack of ease or integration that gives us when executing advanced commands. FOr the full features need the premium version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitKraken Desktop:

You will not regret trying it, each one has their own tastes, but for me this client is in the top of Git, for its clarity of visualization of the branches, which puts it at the head of all those used so far in this field ... and also is multiplatform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using GitKraken, workers/developers will save time, something that favors users when it comes to testing the code. The system is known, mainly, for having a very eye-catching interface, for focusing on the speed and easy handling of Git.

With a handy button to undo operations you can review errors at the moment, which makes the workflow easier. The free version is suitable for companies with less than 20 workers or for non-profit organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Second by second, this saves me hours of work"

5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

The UI is very easy to understand, the tree view is amazing and most operations are a click away.

You can open Pull Requests on Github, merge branches, branch off, amend commits, cherry-pick commits, solve merge conflicts with ease..

Besides the UI looks gorgeous and you can select from light and dark themes.

Plus, now it has Glo, a card/task manager tool built into it that integrates seamlessly with Github Issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

There isn't much to dislike on GitKraken.. I'm sorry it is not possible to setup a GPG key to sign commits, and I would like to have an easier way to see all previous versions of a file. All else is just there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to install and use it. Strongly recommend it "

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

It runs natively on all famous operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Linux. Project organization is done very amazingly by GitKraken. I can manage my Repos, and organize with it easily. Github and BitBucket easy integrated and can be used without a trouble. Drag and Drop feature has made life so easy and searches fuzzy finder is very fast and amazing. It's really to easy to work with such beautiful colors and themes given by GitKraken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

The trial is only for 7 days of GitKraken pro. It should be of 15 days so New users can understand the vast features of GitKraken. For small startups of a team of 10 users, it's expensive 390$ a month for 10 users which is 39$ for 1 user per month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Git client ever."

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

I really like and use it mostly as a visualization tool. Helps me understand project structure and the different features that are being worked on in various branches. GitKraken is my go-to whenever I'm dealing with merge conflicts since they can be a bit puzzling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

The UI can look very bloated and overwhelming at times, due to all the different features, options, buttons, etc. that GitKraken has. In a way, this is good because you can do virtually anything with GitKraken, you just need to know where to look for the option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitKraken Desktop:

Take your time trying to learn the UI and all that GitKraken offers. I watched a few tutorials to start off and kind of went on reading articles gradually as I used it a bit more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We manage considerably big projects and since it's not only one, going from one project to another can be very confusing since one usually gets used to one project / git structure . We use it to manage the different project's branches and pull requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is cool and you can do almost any task you need with Git: commit, push, pull, merge, rebase, manage remotes,... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

Maybe is a bit difficult to start using Gitkraken and some tasks are not very intuitive.

The tool to resolve conflicts could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best git client I've ever used"

5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

Total ease of use. It connects with all my accounts and has built in diff viewers and merge tools that make working with git a dream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

Sometimes the UI doesn't give feedback that its actually doing something under the hood. Sometimes the UI will go to an animaged "opening repo" screen and never open it - this normally happens when a file its monitoring is locked (like the .vs folder with visual studio) - gitignore these files and its fine.

"The most intuitive GIT UI I have ever seen!"

4/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

Drag and Drop. Everything (well, many things) seems to be as simple as Drag and Drop. Move files between branches? Drag and Drop. Move tags? Drag and Drop. Rebase? Drag and Drop!

It also has a great compare and merge tools built in.

For the Pro and Enterprise version it also has GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket support.

And it's written on the Electron platform, which means it's cross platform!

EDIT:

Lately, on Linux at least, the software started making problems, like endless loading when trying to push or pull. So give it a shot, maybe it's fixed already, but for now it lowers the score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

The pricing. While its free for startups in their first year and for personal use, for every other company it has a monthly fee. In some versions it's a licence per seat.

Now don't get me wrong - the fee isn't that high considering the ease of use it brings, but still, I think it's only a matter of time until other tools will clone the great ideas GitKraken introduced to the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GitKraken Desktop:

If you can allow yourselves to spend the money (a yearly fee), do it. You won't regret (And if for some reason you do - it has a yearly fee subscription pricing model and you can always start with the free trial version so you can cancel at any time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ease of use in everything related to source control management using GIT. Plus, I think it has migration feature from other source control systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
