What We’ve Delivered in the Past Year

Core Functionality Enhancements

Our dedication to improving GitKraken Desktop has never been stronger. We know that enhancing core Git capabilities leads to a more streamlined workflow for every developer. That’s why we’ve introduced several key updates that boost performance, speed up common tasks, and make Git management more intuitive.

  • Commit Graph Enhancements:
    • Expanded filtering options now allow you to group commits by author, email, and PR status, making it easier to navigate complex histories.

    • Faster, more organized repo navigation, including the ability to hide/unhide groups, customize colors, and group repositories for better management.
    • Enhanced loading speeds for large repositories, improving your workflow when managing multiple repos or navigating complex projects.
  • Improved Interactive Rebase & Pull/Merge Support:
    • Expanded support for interactive rebase allows developers to edit commit messages, reorder commits, and resolve conflicts with more flexibility and control.
    • Improved pull/merge support for fast-forward operations, making it easier to keep branches up to date with the latest changes.
  • Enhanced Git Executable:
    • With built-in support for the Git Executable feature, operations like rebase, clone, and pull are now more efficient, particularly for advanced Git workflows.

Innovative Features Driving Developer Productivity

Innovation remains central to everything we do, but we never lose sight of what matters most: creating a seamless Git experience for every developer. While our new features like Launchpad and Workspaces are designed to enhance productivity, we continue to focus on what makes GitKraken the best Git GUI on the market.

  • Launchpad:

    • A centralized hub that consolidates your PRs, issues, and tasks. Easily filter by PR and issue labels or by team members to quickly identify priorities and navigate tasks.

    • The Team Launchpad groups PRs by status, such as “ready to merge,” “blocked,” or “needs review,” enabling faster decision-making and unblocking teammates.

  • Workspaces:

    • Simplify the chaos of multi-repo projects with Workspaces. Group repositories, track branch statuses, and keep changes synchronized to maintain team alignment, no matter where your team is located.

    • Customizable group colors and status tracking give you a clear overview of your team’s work at any time.

  • And More:

    • Cloud Patches: Accelerate collaboration by sharing work-in-progress code without committing it to the main repository, enabling early feedback and faster solutions.

    • Code Suggest: Elevate code reviews by providing actionable suggestions on any part of a project, directly within your IDE, for smoother collaboration and higher-quality code.

Collaboration Tools for Teams of All Sizes

GitKraken continues to prioritize team collaboration, ensuring that teams of all sizes can work more effectively. Whether your team is local or remote, these collaboration features are designed to keep everyone in sync.

  • Team Launchpad:

    • A shared space for managing your entire team’s PRs and issues, organized by status to help everyone stay focused on the most critical tasks.

  • Insights:

    • Access powerful, data-driven insights into your team’s performance. Track key metrics like cycle times, throughput, and merge rates to optimize team productivity.
