Can we just pause for a second and process this? It doesn't feel like much but go dare and try. Due to a recent change in their pricing structure, I was ready to give it a spin, and oh boy, did this tool go to town (with me).Īfter I learned about some of GitKraken's features, my new (improved) workflow looks like this:įirst of all, I can stay in my Git tool to create merge requests. In conversations with my colleagues, I've heard that some used a different Git client (like GitTower ) and so I stumbled across GitKraken during a Google search. I always thought that this is how it is to code nowadays. The context switches between these tools were never something that bothered me. To finish a piece of work, I usually have to work with three tools: Sourcetree, GitLab, and Jira (not shown in this picture). Pretty standard, no special things here ✌️.

Here's a standard workflow, I usually follow:Īt my work, we use GitLab / GitHub for code management and pipelines and often feature branches to structure the way teams work.

To understand why I changed my mind, it might be interesting to understand, how I work. Picture taken from GitKraken's website. It did all I could wish for and I couldn't imagine why someone would pay for a Git client. I sent several emails and never got a reply.įork is promising and I intend to keep an eye on it, along with sublime merge.For years, I've been using Sourcetree as my go-to-tool for all Git related actions and repository management. no better than SourceTree), which is disappointing for a paid app. I found Fork tech support unresponsive (i.e. The interactive rebase support is better than SourceTree. * SourceTree can show the text of an annotated git tag (though it's a bit clumsy). The font Fork uses is small and there's no way to adjust it.

SourceTree does it superbly the local changes are shown in history as the top node, rather than in a separate panel as Fork does. Fork cannot, nor can any other git client I have tried, including Tower and sublime merge. * SourceTree lets me compare the current uncommitted state to any prior commit. Fork is very good and worth a try, but I prefer Fork because: I bought a copy but find myself using SourceTree by preference.
