GitKraken Desktop

GitKraken Desktop is a commercial Developer Tools application for Linux. It provides a graphical way to work with Git repositories while also offering a Git-enhanced terminal experience. The application is intended for individual developers and teams who need to inspect project history, edit files, manage changes, and take part in code review.

Its visual graph shows branches, merges, and commits in either a dark or light theme. Drag-and-drop actions simplify common operations such as merging, rebasing, and pushing changes. A built-in Merge Tool helps users resolve conflicts, while the repository management area supports opening repositories, setting favorites, and organizing them into Workspaces. Workspaces can group repositories for actions such as pulling, fetching, and cloning, and they can be shared to help onboard team members.

GitKraken Desktop integrates with GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, GitLab Self-Hosted, Bitbucket, Bitbucket Server, and Azure DevOps. These integrations support creating, cloning, and adding remote repositories, as well as creating and viewing pull requests from connected services. Support for Jira, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues, and Trello provides access to issue-tracking workflows, while Launchpad helps users prioritize issues, pull requests, and work in progress. The application also includes file history and blame views, Code Suggest for proposed pull-request changes, and a built-in editor with split diffs, syntax highlighting, and file search.

For Linux users, GitKraken Desktop combines repository visualization, code editing, conflict resolution, and code-review tasks within a Developer Tools application. Users can switch between repository tabs and terminal tabs, and they can undo or redo changes with one click. MirrorNest links directly to the official release rather than mirroring the software, so its catalog entry serves as a route to the publisher’s release.
