Overview

What is Gitkraken?

GitKraken CLI (gk) is a command‑line tool that provides GitKraken’s features on the terminal. It focuses on “Work Items” (features or issues) to manage multiple repositories as if they were a monorepo, offers AI‑powered commit messages and Pull Request generation, and includes a local MCP server that wraps git, GitHub, Jira, and GitKraken APIs for use with LLMs.

How to use Gitkraken?

Install via Homebrew (macOS), Snap/.deb/.rpm (Unix), Winget (Windows), or download from the releases page. Authenticate with gk auth login, then navigate to a repository, create a work item with gk work create, edit files, commit with gk work commit --ai, push with gk work push, and create a PR with gk work pr create --ai. Use gk help for all commands. For MCP server setup, follow the instructions in the Help Center.

FAQ from Gitkraken

How do I authenticate with Gitkraken?

What should I do if `gk login` freezes after browser authentication?

This is caused by browsers (like Safari or Brave) blocking the redirect to localhost port 1314. Change your default browser or copy the URL and open it in another browser.

Why is `gk` aliased to something else in my shell?

Oh‑My‑Zsh aliases gitk as gk. Run unalias gk to resolve the conflict.
