Gitkraken Private Repo



The free GitKraken Git GUI can be used with publicly-hosted repositories. Wix wordpress. If you are working with privately-hosted repositories, you will need a paid GitKraken license. Does GitKraken install Git? No, GitKraken does not require you to install Git on your machine. Can GitKraken be installed on multiple machines?

I recently encountered an error in GitKraken after a bad merge occurred when trying to merge in some changes from the main development branch, whilst I had quite a few local changes that GitKraken usually automatically stashes for me.

  • GitKraken allows you to load your existing repositories and pick up where you left off. It's also useful for visualizing past work done. If you're coming from a Git project you already have locally, navigate to File Open Repo to get started immediately in GitKraken. Cloning an existing project.
  • I’m having a weird problem with private repo authentication. Trying to clone a repo with GitKraken. Can’t pull LFS on the repo because it fails authentication. Tried connecting GitLab to GitKraken with oauth, and I tried cloning over standard https. The repo will clone both ways in GK, but will always fail authentication when pulling LFS. Cloning in the CLI using GitBash for Windows from.
  • The private key is kept safe and secure on your system. Set up SSH key authentication. Git will clone the repo and set up the origin remote to connect with SSH for future Git commands. To prevent problems, Windows users should run a command to have Git reuse their SSH key passphrase.

My problem was I was using Bash Ubuntu on Windows, which has a nasty habit of locking files. The merge and stashing seemed to fail because in the changes I was attempting to merge in, some files were deleted.
I tried closing and reopening GitKraken, but it was clear that GitKraken wasn’t going to let me open up that repo again.

The fix

I realise this is a bit of a nuclear fix, but you’ll need to open up PowerShell to fix this. For me, it was simply a matter of navigating to the project directory and running: git reset --hard however, if you need changes, your repo will be interactable just fine on the command line.
