Can I hook this into a self-hosted github? Or does it only talk to github.com
It works with any git remote from what I can see.

#22I keep seeing this promoted on Twitter, but there's nothing on the site that gives any idea of what it does better than SourceTree/Tower or any of the dozens of other Git GUIs.
But did you see they have a cool background? If someone has that cool of a background you can trust the software is A+.

I'm not sure but they describe it as a git client, not a github client so I guess you can hook it up to whatever you please.

"Does GitKraken support GitHub Enterprise/Bitbucket Server?
GitKraken currently does not support these services but support is planned for a future release."Re: GitKraken: git GUI Client for Windows Mac and Linux
#24Here are the things every git client should have before opening up: 1) side by side comparison—seems like it only has vertical, which means for heavy changes it's basically useless. 2) conflict resolution. 3) search (it seems like gitkraken does this well from the screenshots) 4) Interactive rebasing, the bread and butter of clean git usage. Without the above as a minimum , I might as well just use the git cli all th…
1 and 2 can be handled by meld[1], available both on Linux and on OSX (via brew).
It integrates with git with just `git mergetool -t meld`.

#25Wait, this is the same axosoft that makes ontime? I use ontime every day, and generally hate it. But I'm not sure if that's their fault, or my company's fault in the setup process :)
The UI is designed well enough, I just wish the application wasn't basically a web-view.
Or, rather, it could be outright a web page, capable of being integrated to whatever repo web tool you're using.

#26I can't use this. It gets stuck on step 4 of the tour; clicking "Next" doesn't do anything, and everything but the name and email field is greyed out.

Yeah. I don't know when this happened, but that's become a deal breaker for me. Strange, right? Edit to add: It's particularly strange because I wouldn't depend on this tool in some infrastructural way -- I could switch clients anytime without any lock in. But I'm no longer willing to even try anymore. Odd.
Seems like you should investigate that, then. The first step is noticing that you may be acting irrationally. The second step is correcting (if in fact it turns out to be irrational, which I'm not claiming).
Um, no. Thank you. There are reasons for only using OSS software that are both philosophical and pragmatic.
Literally in the last three days I've had tools that were broken in Ubuntu but working on master or had fixes in pull requests.
Plex is the only piece of closed source software that I will voluntarily use on my non-mobile computers.

You missed the point of the post. edit: When you load the page there is nothing to convince someone to dig further. All it says is "trust us it's better".
So you're basically just arguing that their webpage doesn't have a good layout. If you want to dismiss the product because of that, that's your choice, but I wish people would keep complaints about website design to themselves. They're so boring. I come to HN to read insightful commentary about articles and projects, and complaints about the websites themselves just make me roll my eyes.
