Each week we share a tip on social media to help you use GitKraken like a pro. For those of you who are just getting started with our cross-platform Git client, here’s a great overview of how GitKraken works in less than 2-minutes.
Now, here’s a round-up of all the tips we’ve shared so far!
GitKraken Tips
1. If you want to see just the commits for a specific branch, use the soloing function.

3. Pull any branch, even if it isn’t checked out. Just select “Pull” in the branch actions context menu (you can also push the branch the same way).
