Whether you are a newborn or a wizened deep-ocean octopod, each user will need to open, clone, or initialize a repo in GitKraken.

Setup

The essential setup process includes:

  1. Installing GitKraken
  2. Creating an account and setting up your profile

Once this is complete, you are ready for your oceanic journey!

Configuring GitKraken to push/fetch w/ Github. Ask Question Asked 4 years, 2 months ago. Active 1 year, 1 month ago. Viewed 24k times 19. I am trying to configure. GitKraken also allows initializing a repository directly to a remote Git hosting provider such as GitHub and Bitbucket.

What is git and github

Projects in GitKraken

There are three ways to start a Git repository when working on a project:

  1. Open - Open a local Git repository already initialized and available locally.
  2. Clone - Clone a remote Git repository already initialized.
  3. Init - Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one.

Opening an existing project

GitKraken allows you to load your existing repositories and pick up where you left off. It's also useful for visualizing past work done.

If you're coming from a Git project you already have locally, navigate to File Open Repo to get started immediately in GitKraken.

Cloning an existing project

If your project is not on your local machine or you want a new copy, clone the project through File Clone.

This will then prompt you to open the newly copied project in GitKraken.

Initialize a new project

Starting a project in GitKraken is easy through File Init

All you need to do is fill out the fields and select for the magic to begin.

Output

  • A new initialized Git project at the specified repository path by creating a .git folder.
  • The project is opened in GitKraken
  • An 'Initial commit' on a master branch containing a blank README.md along with a .gitignore and LICENSE.md if applicable.

GitKraken also allows initializing a repository directly to a remote Git hosting provider such as GitHub and Bitbucket.

Delete a repository

Gitkraken

You may delete a repository by first navigating to the folder icon in the upper left corner of the GitKraken UI.

Then browse through your repo list and right-click on the repository you wish to delete from your local machine.

If you are unable to delete the repository, first make sure it is closed in GitKraken and then close any other applications which may be working with files in the repository. Restart GitKraken and try the delete again.

Deleting the repo from within GitKraken will only delete your local copy of the repository. If you wish to delete your remote repository, you will need to perform that action directly by logging into your remote hosting service (GitHub, GitLab, etc).

How to use GitHub with GitKraken Boards

Github Gitkraken Crack

GitKraken Boards syncs in real-time with GitHub Issues and GitHub Milestones so changes made in either system are immediately reflected in the other. Link cards to GitHub pull requests, check PR statuses, auto-update cards based on PR statuses and view build statuses without leaving GitKraken Boards.
Plus, use GitHub Actions to automate your workflow; trigger automated actions in GitKraken Boards by linking cards to pull request descriptions or commit messages in GitHub. See how to quickly set up GitHub Issue syncing with GitKraken Boards.
