@sarabreeding Could you help me understand why I should consider switching from source tree over to gitkraken? Apart from the beautiful UI :)

Hey Product Hunters 👋 This is Sara, from the cephalopod-obsessed 🐙 team at Axosoft— AKA the developers of GitKraken! As Jack mentioned, GitKraken is a Git GUI client for software devs using Windows, Mac and Linux. We’ve been working really hard to create a visual UI for Git that’s not only beautiful, but is also a true time-saver for Git beginners and pros. GitKraken simplifies complicated commands into drag and drop actions. It makes working with remote repositories easier through integrations with GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. It allows you to resolve merge conflicts without ever leaving the app. And it supports Gitflow, Git Hooks, LFS, and more. Best of all, it’s free for non-commercial, educational and startup use! Download it at GitKraken.com/ph, and if you love the product and want to use it commercially, use promo code: PRODUCTHUNT 💰 to get $10 off GitKraken Pro when you upgrade. I’m dying to know what you all think! Please share your feedback 🙏 and I’ll be around to answer any questions you may have. Cheers 🍻

Love this, I'm a GIT power-user, but for visual understanding the command line is not the place to live

Pros:

Makes it easy to visualize and manage dozens of branches.

Cons:

Options for vertical layout

Pros:

Cons:

I've been a happy GitKraken user from the beginning. It's fast even with projects with a lot of commits and branches. Everything is one click away, covers everything you do with git on a daily basis.

`CMD+P` à la Sublime and Atom is really handy.

The Undo feature is really nice when you're not so familiar with Git, this is the client I recommend to every new Git user to get going.

Congrats to Axosoft for providing such an excellent tool, I've been so disappointed by other Git GUI before, it wasn't an easy task, but they did it!

Pros:

Auto-stash, Undo, filters (solo, hide), LFS, you name it.

Cons:

Didn't find one yet :)

GitKraken was where I finally got into using rebase as part of my daily flow. It has really helped me work through quite a number of complicated merges as well

Pros:

- Beautiful

- easy to setup and use

- smooth integration with GH, BB, GL

- Turned rebasing into a joy

- high cadence of updates

Cons:

In rare cases it can take a few seconds to pick up on changes

I have been using GitKarken since the beta (almost two years already!) and after testing many other Git GUIs, it is hands down the best solution out there. I upgraded to pro about a year ago, and could not be happier with this tool. From the amazing UI, to the on the ball bug fixing, humorous release notes, and of course the amazing feature set, this team has done so much right. To highlight one of my personal favorites, the drag-and-drop rebase/merge functionality has been extremely helpful in keeping a nice understandable git history. Also, the slack community is amazing!

Great UI, super simple to use, with many integrations (Trello, Jira, GitHub) and a lot of actions available (create a PR from the app, merge, rebase, cherry pick commits).

This looks amazing I cannot wait to give it a whirl Incredibly Dope 🚬🚬

I've tried Github's client, Tower, Webstorm's Integrated Git UI, SourceTree and Gitkraken is definitely the client I am most confortable with. It is really easy to track all of your team's changes thanks to its tons of features.

Pros:

The best git GUI out there IMHO

Cons:

I'd like to be able to open several windows with a repo in each one.

A great tool to allow non-tech people to contribute to a Git project.

Pros:

Git, now faster, thanks to this brilliant interface.

Stage + commit + push in one keyboard shortcut 🤘

Cons:

I don't feel like a developer anymore now that I use a GUI 😛

You can get Gitkraken Pro for free for a year if you are a student.

Pros:

easy to use

easy to see history of your repo

easy to stage what you want when yo want

I can work in Bitbucket and Github smoothly

Cons:

startup used to be slow, but I believe it has improved with the latest update

I've been using GitKraken for more than a year now and I do not want to go back to anything else. I tried the official visual client of Github and SourceTree from Bitbucket but they don't come close to what GitKraken is capable of. It's super intuitive for git beginners and still has all the advanced functionality that you need when things might get messy. The cool thing is: GitKraken actually helps you to keep your git workflow clean by visually displaying it. One thing I like to mention as well is the constant stream of updates and improvements the team at Axosoft is making to the product. They update the application and fix problems on a regular basis. Gitkraken has never let me down during my work and that's why I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to work with git and doesn't want to fiddle with the console / terminal.

<3 <3

Pros:

The interface is beautiful. Easy for both beginners and advanced users to pick up. Compliments my workflow very well. Built in SSH auth too.

Cons:

Gets slow at times, especially on less powerful computers. Recent updates have improved it tremendously though.

Indisputably the best Git client for Linux.

Best Git app out there. Slick!

The best GUI for Git in my opinion. Higher than official Github GUI.

Pros:

Perfect GUI, Easy to use, multi platform

Cons:

Bugs in screens with so many branchs

For some reason the enviroment feel a lot cooler than Sourcetree

Pros:

Beautiful UI, Git Flow, Shortcuts, easy to use.

Cons:

Rarely get stuck and not retrieve changes, Slow sometimes

I've been fan of git cli, but when I discovered GitKraken it was almost instant switch ;)

Pros:

fast, nice design, great ux

Cons:

I haven't found any!

I have been using GitKraken for over a year now. It started off good and has gotten even better. The UI is really intuitive and easy to use, assuming you understand basic git vocabulary and concepts. I have used all the "competitors" (tower, sourcetree, github desktop, etc) and this is the one I like the most so far. I still use the command line for 90% of my git tasks, such as doing a quick commit or push. But I find myself opening GitKraken whenever I want to do something more complicated like moving a tag from one commit to another. While I could do it in the command line, it requires you to read through the logs, find the commit hashes, copy them and do some other voodoo. With gitkraken I can just drag the tag onto the commit in the visual tree that I want it to be in. I also find myself using GitKraken for doing merges with conflicts. Managing conflicts with GitKraken is easy and straightforward. Ill probably jump on the product hunter coupon for the premium product. I have been managing mostly personal projects and maintaining open source packages, but I feel like I should contribute to its success.
