About GitKraken
GitKraken is a visual Git client for the desktop, with Git integrations for code editors and Jira. It shows branches, commits and conflicts in a graphical view instead of requiring you to work only from the command line.
What it does
GitKraken Desktop shows your repository as a visual graph of branches and commits. You can manage branches and resolve conflicts from the same window. GitLens brings similar history and authorship views into supported code editors, and a Git integration for Jira connects development activity with issue tracking.
