"The best Git client I've ever used"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GitKraken Desktop?

If you're looking for a GUI-based Git client, look no further. GitKraken is, without a doubt, the best one I've used. I'm a huge fan of the UI. The history graph is sleek and intuitive, especially when dealing with a complex commit history. One of the more notable features is the "merge conflict warnings," which tell you which of your teammates are editing which files, and will alert you of potential conflicts. I've never encountered a feature like this before, but it's amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitKraken Desktop?

The pro version is a bit expensive, in my opinion. Fortunately, my company pays for this, so it's not a significant issue for me.

Every once in a while, I need to resort to the Git CLI, particularly when dealing with a complex and messy history. However, this is rare. Most of the time, GitKraken meets or exceeds my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
