## Visualize Git, Minimize Mistakes

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

Use the Launchpad to see and prioritize all of your issues, pull requests, and WIPs. Start your day in the Launchpad and take action on your most important work without second-guessing or juggling apps.

### 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.
