Unified GitKraken login and integration management:
Sign in and sign up now happen through your browser at gitkraken.dev, replacing the in-app email/password form.
New integration connections will now be connected through your GitKraken account and synced across all your devices. You can manage integrations for your GitKraken account at gitkraken.dev as well as from Preferences > Integrations.
Note: Integrations and login for On-premise clients (both Self-Hosted and Serverless) have not been modified and will continue to be managed locally.
Multiple WIP nodes in the Commit Graph:
A WIP node now appears in the Commit Graph for every worktree with uncommitted changes or an active agent session. Each WIP row shows the summary of changes, and — for any worktree other than the one you’re currently in — an agent’s status when a session is active there. Toggle visibility in Preferences > Agents.
Selecting the WIP row for another worktree will expose an inline “Open Worktree” action so you can easily switch to that worktree.
Review PRs with GitKraken Code Review:
The in-app pull request review mode has been replaced with links to a more full-featured review experience on gitkraken.dev. GitKraken Code Review hosts a powerful diff viewer that visualizes moved code, AI-powered overviews and suggestions, and a chat interface to ask questions. Access it from the Launchpad, Pull Requests in the Left Panel, or the Graph.
Improvements 🙌
When checking out a branch or commit, any WIP (if present) will be automatically selected, so you can prepare your first commit immediately.
Added text search to filter the worktree list in the Agent Sessions view by branch or directory name.
Hardened HTML sanitization in the markdown file preview so embedded scripts and iframes in repository content are no longer rendered.
GitKraken Desktop now shows an error when the file watcher stops receiving file change events from the operating system, instead of silently missing external changes until the app regains focus.
Added zoom controls (Increase Zoom, Decrease Zoom, Reset Zoom) to the View menu, with the zoom range extended to include 250% and 300%.
Cloud-connected clients can now sign out of their GitKraken account from the profile menu or the OS menu bar.
GitKraken AI:
The usage details now shows your organization’s shared credit pool, with a breakdown of your usage, the rest of the org’s usage, and remaining credits — plus a notice when you’ve hit your personal weekly limit.
Removed retired Claude 4 models (Claude 4 Sonnet, Claude 4 Opus) as options in Preferences > GitKraken AI. Users previously using these models will be automatically migrated to Claude 4.6 Sonnet.
Added new Claude model options in Preferences > GitKraken AI when using your own API key: Claude 4.5 Sonnet, Claude 4.5 Haiku, and Claude 4.8, 4.7, 4.5, and 4.1 Opus.
Bug Fixes 🐛
Fixed an issue where the Sign In link in the top-right corner of the onboarding flow did not work on macOS.
Fixed an issue where a “create another profile” message appeared inside the SSH settings during onboarding after connecting an integration.
Fixed an issue where the diff view’s navigation and display controls (Inline/Split/Hunk, ignore whitespace, and word wrap) were disabled for UTF-16 encoded files.
Fixed an issue where the file tree collapsed when comparing the WIP commit with another commit and the app refreshed.
Fixed an issue where the Agents view worktree list briefly flickered (emptied and then repopulated) when switching to another worktree.
Fixed an issue where the “Open this worktree” and “Open worktree in new tab” context menu options were missing for locked worktrees in the Worktrees section of the left panel.
Fixed an issue where adding a pre-existing SSH key to an integration could display the wrong key name, which risked removing the wrong key from the provider.
Fixed an issue where a valid SSH key could be shown as invalid when a GitHub integration account has more than 100 SSH keys.
Fixed an issue where wide markdown content (long lines, large images, or code blocks) in the file preview was centered and could not be scrolled horizontally to view the full content.
Fixed an issue where starting an agent session from the Agents view worktree menu left the terminal unfocused, so typing did not reach the agent until you clicked into the terminal.
