Sync profiles across devices

124 votes

For users who use GitKraken on multiple machines (Mac & Windows) it would be a great QOL improvement, if the profiles would sync between all devices.
I took the time to set up my profiles on my Windows machine only to find out I have to do the same again on my Mac.
In my opinion this could greatly improve the user experience while using GitKraken.

This is also useful when working with virtual machines and using GitKraken as well as inside as outside of those. Having settings in sync would truly be a QoL improvement.

I just purchased the Pro version to manage my work profile and personal profiles, and am running into this non-sync profile issues. It appears I still have to create the profiles on both machines.... Maybe I could use a gist to manage this but it feels like this should come out of the box.

As a pro worker, I use many azure devops repositories in many organizations and when I work at home, I have all my profiles, but they are not in sync with my work PC. This feature would be appreciated.
There is a security concern as of Personnal Access Token stored in profile could be steal.
But I would be great to not have to redo profile creation.

As a new GitKraken user I was very confused when I downloaded the agent on my personal computer and thought that I had lost my account (I didn't really know the difference between a profile and an account and that just added to the stress) or somehow created another account with the same email. This feature would not only enhance QOL but also prevent other people from spending a good amount of time being confused.
