SSH Tunneling

367 votes

I use VS Code on my Mac to edit/run/debug deep-learning code on my Linux machine via SSH tunneling. It's rather slick. It would be great if GitKraken also supported SSH tunneling so that I don't have to resort to sluggish, wonky solutions like Samba, VNC, or a third copy of my DL repo on a laptop with zero CUDA-powered GPUs.

I just discovered the GitLens and Git Graph extensions for VS Code that almost make this feature request a moot point.

I let my GitKraken license drop because this feature is missing. I'd happily subscribe again if I could use GitKraken with my VS Code Remote SSH workflow!

We are waiting for that feature. Out whole develpoment team uses gitkraken and working on remote linus servers should not change anything on that.

We switched over to developing on a remove VM using JetBrains Gateway. Works great so far except the git client is really lacking.

I'm X11 forwarding gitkraken, but it's pretty clunky.

It would be really nice if GitKraken had a native solution for remote environments.

I have a very old laptop, but very beefy development machine, so I'm constantly using remote development tools. With JetBrains giving a lot of focus to remote development as well, there will be even less projects I work on locally. It would be amazing if GitKraken could support remote development as well.

The VSCode extensions and JetBrains git tools work, but I much prefer GitKraken

+1 for that, Gitkraken is now out of my dev env. That would be a dealbreaker when coming to renew my pro membership in 3 months.

+1 fo having this. Dealbreaker and will let me unfortunately let the trial license end without a renewal. Will keep an eye until it get developed and will get license for my team.

Adding my two cents that I would really like this feature as well!

Please add this feature. It would support a workflow that many people are now using.

For example: create an EC2 instance on AWS and use VSCode's remote SSH feature to develop code locally via a more powerful machine.

I have used Gitkraken Pro for several years now and this is one of the few limitations that I've encountered. Would be great if it would be supported out of the box. This is especially useful in enterprise environments!

started using remote environment through SSH
would appreciate having remote SSH git management

My department was using GitKraken Pro and after changing to a distributed system workflow via NFS we are not able to use it anymore. I tried several things to improve git performance over my mounted repos.
I made a git alias to improve git performance by using git in the remote machine via ssh and it worked.
However, GitKraken uses libgit2 so it is not affected by the installed git in the bare machine.

I tried GitLens with VSC Remote Explorer and works good but has many missing tools. I wasn't even able to edit a commit or even ammend it.
I'm also abandoning the ship, unfortunately, until this feature is taken into account.

As others have noted, application development is happening more and more remotely i.e. "in the cloud" and no longer locally. There are a ton of advantages to doing this and why it is getting more and more popular. Having Git control of a code base remotely is also a necessary part of the "remote development" process.

Some in this and the other similar suggestion have said, "I had to drop my subscription to Gitkraken, because this feature is missing." I'm in this boat too. My team has moved our application development to being remote and thus Gitkraken no longer suffices, because we can't work remotely with it, which is a shame. This can't be that hard.

Please make this happen!

Thanks!

@Matt H GitLens is nice but GitKraken is way prettier and doesn't suffer from VS Code's greedy real estate usage or awkward extension window management.

I would like this feature implemented because i use lots of development machine in both cloud and laboratory to run hardware equipment.

Most of the time my many repos get cloned on different remote machine. I would be great if gitkraken could support another remote source via ssh (git remote) with having to setup a git server on the remote machine.

This would be a VERY useful feature.

@GitkrakenTeam - The longer this feature goes undeveloped, the more likely users are to use the built-in git clients of their IDEs (VSCode and Jetbrains) and eventually, Gitkraken will seem less relevant or useful.

The lack of this feature is a huge deal breaker for me; we've moved all our development onto remote VMs (Using JetBrains Gateway to connect) for better environment management and would love to use GitKraken, but with this feature being absent, GitKraken is now useless.

With this suggestion being 3+ years old, I don't have much hope that the team care about this, but with the rise of services like AWS CodeCatalyst and Daytona, it feels like they're in the fast lane to having an irrelevant product.

the only thing that keeps this away from being GREAT is this feature. tbh
