What is GitKraken?

GitKraken's commit graph helps visualize branch structure and commit history. It helps verify recent Git actions on the repo, and also shows who made what code changes and when, so it’s easier to track down when a bug was introduced and revert back to a previous version. GitKraken Client is a Git GUI that detects and alerts users of potential conflicts so as to prevent them from happening. With itsuser Activity Status, the user can know who is online in the GitKraken Client.
