With SourceTree we can create and apply patches, something that is completely missing in GitKraken. At the top, we have the search button that we can use to look for commits. In the right panel, we can see details of any commit we select from the history, we can also stage, unstage, discard and ignore files from the work in progress and make commits from there, too. The project’s history and the work in progress are in the center, and we can see stashes too.

In the left panel, we have information about the project, such as local branches, the remote repositories added to the project and their branches, stashes, tags, and submodules. In GitKraken’s main interface, we have everything we need. When comparing their UI/UX, GitKraken has clearly the upper hand. In this article, I’ll compare them one to the other and show you the benefits of using them both together. I, also, used the CLI as well, so that every developer knows what’s happening behind the scenes when using their favorite GUI.īy doing so, I discovered that SourceTree and GitKraken are two apps that can live alongside and there is no need to choose between the two of them.

When preparing the workshop, I opted for SourceTree and GitKraken for demonstrations as both are the most used GUI tools in satoripop. Recently, in satoripop, I led a workshop about Git aiming at introducing its best practices, demonstrating GitFlow and showing how we use it in our workflow.
