Explore what Commit Graph lets you do

Interactive commit history

Digging through past commits in the CLI is slow work. The commit graph makes it instant. Open any repo in GitKraken Desktop or GitLens for IDEs, and you’ll see your project’s history mapped out. Branches, merges, and commit relationships all brought to life in rich color. Scroll to explore, zoom to focus. It’s Git made visual.

Rich search & filtering 

Track down exactly what you need. Search by message, author, file, code changes, or even with natural language using AI. Filter by author or team, show or hide tags, branches, or stashes, and dim the noise of merge commits to keep your focus sharp.

Reveal actions in 1-click

Right-click any commit, branch, or tag in the graph and the options are right there: compare against a base, open diffs, revert, rebase, checkout, and more. No memorizing commands, no second-guessing. Want to rebase this branch? Roll back that commit? Just right-click and GitKraken tells you exactly what you can do.

Gauge the size of changes

Some commits are tiny tweaks, others reshape the codebase. The Commit Graph makes the difference obvious, surfacing change sizes at a glance so you can spot the big shifts and zero in faster.

Customize your view

Your graph, your rules. Rearrange columns, choose the metadata that matters (author, date, SHA), and decide whether you want avatars or clean initials. Developers love to make tools their own. The Commit Graph flexes with you, compact or full view, light or dark themes, resized without breaking clarity.

Eliminate context switching

With the commit graph in GitKraken Desktop, the CLI, and GitLens for your favorite AI IDEs like VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro your project context is never out of reach. No more repo wrangling or provider-hopping. Just the clarity to make smart calls and stay locked on building.
