The Git Client That Actually Integrates Your Workflow

Why Choose GitKraken Desktop Over Fork?

Cross-Platform Capability
Fork locks you into Mac/Windows ecosystems. GitKraken Desktop runs natively on Linux, Mac, and Windows with identical functionality.
Built-in Code Editor
Fork sends you to external editors for everything. GitKraken Desktop lets you edit files, stage line-by-line, and review changes without leaving the app.
Integrated Workspace Management
Fork treats repos individually. GitKraken Desktop’s workspace system manages related projects together with batch operations and synchronized workflows.

@GitKraken makes the hard or redundant parts of Git easy. It doesn't hide Git concepts. It does publish free lessons on YouTube. It's as good as it Gits
