GitKraken

What's new in this version:

GitKraken 10.6.0 (64-bit)
New:
- Automatic Conflict Detection: GitKraken will monitor your base branch for conflicts and alert you with an icon in the toolbar when conflicts are detected, providing options to resolve your conflicts sooner rather than later.
- When a conflict is detected, click on the icon in the toolbar to view details about the conflict and choose to rebase your current branch onto the base branch or merge changes from the base branch into your current branch.
- You can limit which branches GitKraken may consider as “base branches” when scanning for conflicts. Navigate to Preferences > Conflict Detection to set the preffered branches for a repository.
- This feature is currently in preview and may undergo significant updates based on feedback. Share your thoughts with us to help shape its future direction!
- Custom External Editors
- You can now set any external editor for GitKraken to use when opening files or repositories.
- Navigate to Preferences > External Tools to set the default external editor to <Custom> and enter the path for the editor you want to use. If needed, you can configure the arguments to pass when opening repos or files in your selected editor.

- Select Local Workspace and then name your Workspace, and browse to select repos to add to your Local Workspace
- Once your Local Workspace is created, you’ll see all your repos grouped together and get the following benefits
- View currently checked out branch for each repo
- Click on any repo name to open it as a tab in GitKraken Client

Multi-select repos to:
- Perform a fetch for the selected repos
- Open repos as tabs in GitKraken Client
- Use your selection to create a Cloud Workspace (formerly called Personal or Team Workspace)
- That’s right! You can also use your Local Workspace to create a Cloud Workspace, which will enable more visibility into your pull requests, issues, and share your Workspace with teams.

Cloud Workspaces:
- Formerly known as Personal and Shared Workspaces, Cloud Workspaces are useful for sharing your Workspace with teams along with enabling GitKraken Insights

Focus View & Team View:
- The Focus View, which was previously called the Overview, is now out of Preview and provides a list of all Pull Requests, Issues, Works in Progress that matter to you

- The Team Overview is also out of Preview and is now called Team View. It will show you all pull requests and issues associated with the repos in your Workspace.
- And similar to the Focus View, you may now toggle columns on or off from this gear in the top left corner

GitKraken Insights:
- Next, we’re excited to introduce GitKraken Insights – which measures how fast pull requests are merged into your repositories
- But why does it matter if you track metrics like pull request Cycle Time and Throughput
- “I think an underlying principle that exists is that the longer your code stays away from being merged, the more complicated your workflow is going to become.And so as those changes land and your PR and your change becomes more behind from the main trunk branch, the more likely it becomes you will have to do more work to get that code working again.” Jeff Schinella, Director of Product
- To enable GitKraken Insights, you’ll first need to open a Cloud Workspace and then navigate to the Pull Request section. From here, click to connect to your remote hosting service.
- Once the connection is complete, return to the Pull Request section in your Cloud Workspace to view the following metrics for your Workspace pull requests:
- Average Cycle Time: Measures the average time it takes for a pull request to be merged for the selected timeframe.
- Average Throughput: Measures the average number of pull requests merged for the selected timeframe.
- Merge Rate: The percentage of merged pull requests compared to open pull requests for the selected timeframe.
- Open: The total number of pull requests opened for the selected timeframe
- Merged: The total number of pull requests merged for the selected timeframe
- GitKraken Insights is currently in Preview, and we’d love to hear your feedback

UI/UX Refresh:
- Next, we recently released the Commit Graph for GitLens where we learned how to improve the graph even more. We’re delighted to bring those learnings to GitKraken Client 9.0.

Ghost Branches:
- In GitKraken Client, you will now see a “Ghost” branch when you hover over a commit. This will show the closest branch that contains that commit. The “Ghost” branch will also show when a commit is selected, and double-clicking that ghost branch will checkout the head of the referenced branch.
- Users may toggle this setting on or off from Preferences > UI Customization

Commit highlighting:
- When you hover over a branch, the app will highlight all commits referenced by that branch
- Users may toggle this setting on or off from Preferences > UI Customization
