🚀 What is Launchpad for On-Premise?

With the on-premise version, we’ve optimized the experience by removing all cloud dependencies, ensuring that your data stays local and secure.

🔹 Key Features:

•  ✔ View issues and pull requests assigned to or mentioning you
•  ✔ Filter your activity based on project, provider, or status

•  ✔ Seamless integration with on-prem Git providers (e.g. GitHub Enterprise, GitLab Self-Managed)
•  ✔ No internet connection required—everything runs within your local environment

🔄 What’s Different from the Cloud Version?

• ❌ No Cloud Workspaces – In the cloud version, workspaces help teams organize repositories across providers. The on-premise version focuses solely on your personal repositories and activity from your connected Git provider.
• ❌ No Snoozing or Pinning – Since these features require cloud storage, they’ve been removed from the on-prem version.
• ❌ No Team Launchpad – Because Cloud Workspaces are not available, Team Launchpad remains cloud-only.
• ✔ Filtering Still Works – You can still filter issues and PRs by assignment, mention, and status, just like in the cloud version.
• ✔ View Settings – While you can’t save Views, you can still toggle view settings and the app will remember your preferences. 

 ⚙ How It Works

Using Launchpad in GitKraken On-Premise is simple:

1️⃣ Open GitKraken On-Premise and navigate to the Launchpad (you’ll find it via the shortcut button in the upper-left corner).

 3️⃣ View all relevant issues and pull requests connected to your user.

4️⃣ Use the available filters to focus on what matters most. sure everything’s up to date.

Since this is a fully local experience, no data leaves your network, making it ideal for teams with strict security and compliance requirements.

🛑 Stop Merge Conflicts Before They Happen—With Some Key Differences

There’s more to the 10.8 release!

Merge conflicts can slow down your workflow at the worst possible moment, but with GitKraken’s Conflict Prevention, you don’t have to wait until you open a pull request to discover a problem. GitKraken Desktop proactively warns you about potential conflicts before they happen, giving you the chance to fix them early and keep your development process smooth.

⚡ What’s Available for On-Prem Users?

Since On-Prem customers operate without cloud connectivity, some conflict prevention features are different from the cloud version. Here’s what’s available:

✅ Get alerts for conflicts with your target branch – GitKraken will compare your local branch against its remote target branch (e.g., main or develop) and let you know if there’s a conflict. This helps you avoid merge surprises and clean up issues early.

🚫 What’s Not Available in On-Prem?

Because GitKraken On-Premise does not send local changes to a backend for comparison, it cannot:

• ❌ Detect conflicts with another contributor’s branch
• ❌ Show overlapping changes with GitKraken Org members
• ❌ Send a Cloud Patch to preview changes before merging
• ❌ Invite non-Org members to collaborate on changes

💡 Bottom Line: If you’re using On-Prem, conflict detection only works between your branch and its remote target branch. You won’t get alerts about potential conflicts with teammates working on separate branches like you would in GitKraken Cloud.

🍒 Multi-Commit Cherry Pick: A Better Way to Move Code

Ever needed to move multiple commits from one branch to another? Cherry-picking is a powerful way to do that—but doing it commit by commit can be tedious and error-prone. That’s why GitKraken gives you the ability to cherry-pick multiple commits at once, making it easier than ever to move code efficiently.

Selecting the option to cherry pick multiple commits opens an interactive cherry pick tool that allows you to reorder (with drag and drop of mouse), squash, reword, or drop any of the commits selected.

🔥 What Makes Multi-Commit Cherry Pick So Powerful?

✅ Select multiple commits at once – No need to repeat the process for each commit.
✅ Preview changes before applying – Know exactly what will be moved before committing.
✅ Works across branches seamlessly – Move code between branches with confidence.

This feature is especially useful when you need to:

✔ Apply bug fixes to multiple branches
✔ Move feature development from one branch to another
✔ Backport important changes without merging unnecessary commits

By integrating multi-commit cherry-picking into your workflow, you save time, reduce mistakes, and stay in control of your Git history.
