Finding the right dev tools can make all the difference between a project that stalls and one that ships successfully. When you discover something that transforms your workflow, the natural instinct is to share it with fellow developers. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our GitKraken Referral Program! It’s a way to reward you for something you’re probably already doing: recommending GitKraken to your peers.

What’s In It For You

Let’s start with the rewards:

• You earn $20 for each person who signs up and becomes a paying customer
• Your peers get 50% off their first GitKraken Pro seat
• Both of you benefit from GitKraken’s DevEx platform to orchestrate smarter workflows with built-in AI across desktop, terminal, IDE, web, and mobile.

But the benefits extend far beyond these immediate rewards. When you refer a colleague or anyone in your community to GitKraken, you’re not just earning perks, you’re building a stronger foundation for collaboration.

Beyond the Rewards: Strengthening Team Collaboration

As development teams grow more distributed, collaboration challenges multiply. You’ve likely experienced this firsthand: different team members using different tools, inconsistent workflows across departments, and the dreaded “works on my machine” syndrome.

When your entire team uses GitKraken, you create a shared visual language for Git that transcends experience levels. This leads to:

• Standardized workflows that reduce onboarding time and errors
• Improved visibility across projects and team members
• Faster knowledge transfer between senior and junior developers
• Reduced context switching with integrations to your existing tools

Building a Community of Practice

When you refer colleagues to GitKraken, you’re helping to establish what organizational experts call a “community of practice” or a group that shares a common approach to solving problems.

By having a consistent interface and workflow for Git operations, teams can:

• Create shared terminology and processes
• Build institutional knowledge more effectively
• Reduce the friction of cross-team collaboration
• Establish best practices that scale with your organization

“The visual nature of GitKraken makes complex Git operations more accessible to all team members.” – Superna

Real-World Impact

Organizations that have adopted GitKraken report significant benefits:

• Johnson Controls notes: “Whenever we introduce GitKraken to team members, there’s a significant adoption, and you can see how much faster they pick up Git concepts.”
• Lansweeper shares: “One of the reasons we chose GitKraken was that our newer, less experienced Git users could ramp up quickly due to its intuitive interfaces.”
• Stratio Automotive reports: “The visual interface has reduced the learning curve for new team members.”
