Alternatives to GitKraken?

mesamune@lemmy.world to Programming@programming.dev – 58 points –

For the last 5(?) years or so I have been using GitKraken as my daily git driver for a while. I use it at my job mostly and love the functionality. I still use git via command line but jumping into git bash is nice no matter what os I am currently using.

I mainly use it:

  1. To see what branches have been modified (same as git tree but updates itself).
  2. Hooks into other git hosting like codeberg/gitea/forgeo without any real work. Login is also super easy and built in. Oauth is built in.
  3. Git amend is a one click interface.

There is other niceties like issue tracking, easy auto-creation of branches, etc... that I personally don't use all that much, but I can see the appeal.

The only real issue is the price. It used to be 30$ a year but now it's over 100+. I would happily pay 30 a year or pay one time for a license...but over 100 is too much in my opinion. I may go back to using all command line if the price keeps going up.

Is there any open source tools that do something similar it's the same look/feel?

Wait gitkraken is getting a price hike? I haven’t received anything on email about this I think. Shit, I’ll look into it because if it is such a surge I might not be able to justify its price with my currency even if it is one of the few licensed apps I use. Dang, thanks for the heads up OP.

Looks like their Pro plan is 9 Euro a month, which comes to 108 a year. It's on sale now for 5 Euro. Still 60 a year and definitely more than the 30 OP mentioned.

I just had to go and check because I got my 2 year subscription for ~$0.75 a month ($1 CAD) back in April. When I check their pricing page while not logged in, it shows me that I can save 50% on my first year and pay $6 monthly.

I tried checking yesterday but got very confused. My last yearly invoice was 48 USD/Y (so 4 USD/mo). However looking at the price page now it shows a regional pricing equivalent to around 8 USD/mo with a discount available for “first time” sub which cuts it to 3 USD/mo. It’s kinda confusing, I’ll probably be emailing their support to se what’s up. 8/mo is still doable since it’s something that I use everyday, but it is a big change.
