GitKraken como alternativa Linux a GitHub Desktop
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
GitKraken is a strong, feature-rich replacement for GitHub Desktop on Linux, particularly if you want more visual control over complex Git operations. It handles cloning, branching, committing, and pushing with a more intuitive drag-and-drop interface than GitHub Desktop. The main drawback is that it is proprietary and requires a license for full functionality, whereas GitHub Desktop is free. For developers who need integrated issue tracking or advanced history visualization, GitKraken is an excellent choice, though casual users might find it overkill compared to the simpler GitHub Desktop.

Abrir tus archivos de GitHub Desktop
GitKraken does not directly import or open GitHub Desktop configuration files or local repository states as a single package. However, since both applications operate on standard Git repositories, any repository cloned or managed by GitHub Desktop can be opened in GitKraken by pointing it to the existing local directory. No special conversion is needed for the Git data itself, but you will need to reconfigure remote URLs and credentials if they were stored in GitHub Desktop's keychain or credential manager.

- Install GitKraken via your Linux package manager or Flatpak
- Open GitKraken and log in to your GitHub account to authorize access
- Use the 'Add Repository' option to select your existing local GitHub Desktop repository folder
- Verify that remote URLs are correctly set in GitKraken's repository settings
- Test a simple commit and push to ensure credentials and permissions work
