GitKraken integration for JetBrains products.

191 votes

Would much rather just have GitKraken baked into Intellij for example. Having boards and spaces also available in my ide accessible with a customisable keybind would also be nicer than using the app separately. I often run into issues with JetBrains github integration that are usually fixed by using a dedicated github application like GitKraken, since they handle edge cases far better.

Honeslty just feel like it would be a huge QoL improvement for me at least. Curious to see if others agree, and if not, why.

I 100% agree. It would avoid having to select the repository in the GitKraken tab as it would already know which one to open and sync. Very useful when working on more than 20 different repos.

I'm using JB products a lot, same as GitKraken - such integration will be awesome, as default one is very far away from what GitKraken does.

I actually am in a debate right now.. Since im starting to manage more than 30+ repos and i have to change between them a lot in IntelliJ, im starting to get tired of opening them all on kraken to commit when i can directly do it on intellij..

Im starting to wonder if i really need gitkraken at this point when its only making me do things slower. Please consider adding some kind of integration to justify it out.

The reason why I currently prefer to use GitHub Desktop.

JetBrains should have more priority than Sublime and Atom!
I use PHPStorm/WEBStorm but they are not integrated with GitKraken!

I was first introduced to GitKraken through VS Code while working on group projects while in university -- and it was a god send. However, now I am doing research and my own personal projects and I am using JetBrains products rather than VS Code, and while I love the functionality of GitKraken, I find myself barely using it in my programming routine. I wish it was integrated as a Plug-In in JB the same way it was as an extension in VS Code -- still one of my favorite extensions of all time!

I'm sorry to be "that guy" but even as an IJ user, I find it hard to care about something like this as a priority, when we have lots of other suggestions which require you to use an entirely different tool than GK to work around.

IJ has basic Git stuff built in if you want to see changes flagged in the IDE. And anyway GK is much more useful running standalone IMO, it really deserves its own browser tab so you can refer to your pending changes frequently in a large window. I always have IJ and GK up and running side by side.
