Powerful visual Git client for developers and teams
GitKraken is a cross-platform Git GUI client that makes version control intuitive through its legendary commit graph, built-in merge conflict editor, and team collaboration features. Originally launched in 2015 by Axosoft (now rebranded as GitKraken), it supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, integrating with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. GitKraken's DevEx platform also includes GitLens for VS Code, a CLI tool, and cloud-based workspaces, helping developers visualize complex Git histories, resolve conflicts efficiently, and streamline code review workflows.
Interactive, color-coded commit graph that makes complex branch structures easy to understand, with drag-and-drop merge, rebase, and cherry-pick operations.
Side-by-side diff view with inline conflict resolution, allowing developers to resolve merge conflicts directly within the client without switching tools.
Centralized dashboard that surfaces open pull requests, issues, and work-in-progress items to help developers stay focused and prioritize tasks.
Visual drag-and-drop interface for reordering, squashing, and editing commits during an interactive rebase operation.
Shared workspaces that allow teams to group repositories together, share configurations, and maintain alignment across distributed development teams.
Deep integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps for managing pull requests, issues, and CI/CD status directly from the client.
