Launch and manage parallel coding agents from a single surface. With GitKraken’s visual Git foundation, every session, branch, and change stays clear with you in control.
GitKraken Desktop turns the complex web of Git commands into a clear, navigable map of your project’s history. This visual approach not only demystifies version control, but also makes tracking changes and understanding the impact of each commit a breeze.
Easy-to-read commit history
The Commit Graph provides an easy-to-use interface to address common Git challenges. Feel more confident about managing version control and get a clear view of who changed what and when.
Understand any change
With the flexible Diff View you can review past changes, explore File Blame or File History, and even edit code directly, enabling you to stay on top of your project development with ease.
Run Parallel Agents Without the Overhead
Running one agent is easy. Running several is where workflows break.
Different tools. Different terminals. No shared view of what’s happening.
GitKraken Desktop brings every agent session into one place without changing how you work. Use Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, or your own setup. GitKraken Desktop gives you a single surface to track, manage, and stay in command as work scales.
Start agent sessions in one step
Name the task and start. GitKraken Desktop creates a clean worktree, sets up the environment, installs dependencies, and launches your agent automatically while your current work stays untouched.
See every agent at once
Get one view of every agent across worktrees. See status, changes, and branch context at a glance. Jump into any session to inspect its commit history and keep work moving.
Use any agent. Stay in control
Use your agents however you prefer. IDE, CLI, or external tools. Whether using Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Copilot or your own setup, GitKraken Desktop’s integrated terminal brings them into one view when you need it, without forcing you to switch.
Resolve Merge Conflicts with Ease
Resolving merge conflicts can be a tedious process. But with GitKraken Desktop’s conflict detection and merge tool, you can tackle merge conflicts with confidence and ease.
Detect conflicts early
Intervene before any conflicts happen. When your other teammates use GitKraken, you can get potential conflict warnings when another team member is editing in the same area of the codebase as you.
Knock out conflicting code
Resolve merge conflicts faster with a built-in merge tool and AI-powered auto-resolution. GitKraken AI suggests context-aware fixes with explanations and confidence levels, so you can review and stay in control.
Speed Up Your Workflow with AI
Automate repetitive tasks and stay focused on what matters. GitKraken Desktop offers built-in AI capabilities to fast track your workflow—no extra tools, no switching interfaces.
Compose Commits with AI
Skip the rebase stress and let GitKraken AI help you tell a cleaner story. Whether you’re sitting on a pile of uncommitted WIP or reviewing a mess coding agent commits, Commit Composer can restructure your history into something logical, readable, and easy to review.
Summarize past changes with AI
Looking through diffs can take a while. Instead, let GitKraken AI generate natural language explanations of your commits or commits from AI coding agents, right from the UI.
Unblock PR & Code Reviews
Traditional code collaboration relies heavily on pull requests, which forces devs to wait for valuable feedback. GitKraken Desktop expedites feedback and fills in the missing context you need for swifter code reviews.
Know what’s next
Skip the rebase stress and let GitKraken AI help you tell a cleaner story. Whether you’re sitting on a pile of uncommitted WIP or reviewing a mess of past commits, Commit Composer can restructure your history into something logical, readable, and easy to review.
See pull requests by status
Which PRs need attention? With the Launchpad, your PRs and issues are organized by status so you can unblock your team and keep your project moving.
Suggest code changes internally
Take action on GitHub Pull Requests directly from GitKraken Desktop! Review the code in-app, and send suggestions to other GitKraken users on your team.
Deploy GitKraken On-Prem Inside Your Firewall
GitKraken Desktop On-Premise brings the full GitKraken experience inside your own infrastructure. Choose Self-Hosted Server, deployed with full admin control over upgrades and users, or go Serverless with a simple license file and no server required. Either way, your code never leaves the firewall.
Plug Into Your Existing Identity Stack
Connect Self-Hosted GitKraken directly to your LDAP directory with group mapping, attribute configuration, and optional automatic syncing. Teams without LDAP can use built-in email and password authentication instead.
Same GitKraken, Fully Self-Hosted
Developers get the same core Git experience they rely on daily, including the Commit Graph, diff view, merge tools, and AI workflows connected to an approved internal LLM. Integrations with GitHub Enterprise, GitLab Self-Managed, Bitbucket Data Center, and Azure DevOps are fully supported.
If you are doing agentic coding, GitKraken is the one indispensable tool that you absolutely must use if you want to stay on top of what your agents are up to. It is the one tool that I really can’t imagine living without

GitKraken Desktop is my daily driver for all source control work. The UX allows me to work very effectively with repositories, work items, and PRs. The AI infused flows take this up a notch and let me offload that work so I can focus on what really matters.
