What's new in this version:

GitKraken 10.5.0 (32-bit)
New:
- Worktree Support: Use worktrees to work on multiple branches at once without impacting your main working directory. Effortlessly switch between testing changes or working on multiple tasks in the same repository without having to worry about losing your work. Learn more about worktrees in this video.

Creating worktrees:
- Right click on any branch in the Commit Graph to create a new worktree on that branch, or create a worktree for a new branch on any commit in the Commit Graph
- Open a pull request in a new worktree from Launchpad by selecting the option Checkout in New Worktree in the action menu
- You can also hover over the WORKTREES Left Panel section header and click on the + button to create a new worktree (Tip: You can show or hide left panel sections like WORKTREES by right-clicking on any Left Panel section header)

Switching between worktrees:
- Double click on any worktree in the WORKTREES Left Panel section to open that worktree
- Double clicking on a branch in the graph that is checked out in a worktree will open that worktree in the current tab

- Saved Launchpad Views: Save your customized Launchpad views and access them on the web and across all your devices.
- Click the Save a View button in the Launchpad tab bar to save the current view’s filters and view settings as a new view.

Workspaces:
Local Workspaces:

- 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
- With this release, you may now toggle columns on or off from this gear in the top left corner
- 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
