GitKraken for Linux
For repo management, in-app code editing & issue tracking.
Overview
GitKraken is a software tool designed for Linux users who work with Git repositories.
It helps manage your code projects by showing your Git history, branches, and merges in an easy-to-understand graph.
You can switch between light and dark themes to fit your preference.
The visual graph makes complicated Git tasks like merge, rebase, and push simpler by turning them into drag-and-drop actions.
This app connects with popular Git services such as GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, GitLab Self-Hosted, Bitbucket, and VSTS.
You can create, clone, and manage your remote repositories from these services inside GitKraken.
It also supports creating and viewing pull requests without leaving the app.
You can organize your projects by setting favorites and grouping them by task.
Features like viewing file history, blame, and one-click undo/redo help keep track of changes.
GitKraken includes a built-in code editor with syntax highlighting, diff split views, and file search, so you can edit code directly without switching apps.
If you run into merge conflicts, you can fix them right inside the tool.
It supports advanced Git features like Gitflow, Git Hooks, LFS, and submodules.
You can also set up multiple profiles to separate work and personal projects.
Additionally, GitKraken offers Glo Boards, a tool for tracking tasks and issues.
This feature syncs in real-time with GitHub Issues and works across different platforms, including VS Code, Atom, browsers, and mobile apps for iPhone and Android.
You can create cards for tasks, bugs, and features, assign users, set priorities using labels, and customize workflows.
Glo Boards also provide notifications and support markdown for descriptions and comments.
Note that this version of GitKraken is a wrapper that is not verified or officially supported by Axosoft, LLC.
There is no clear information about offline use or customer support within the app.
However, it is a useful tool for tech-savvy Linux users seeking a visual, integrated way to handle Git repositories and project tracking.
