Overview

What is Gitkraken?

GitKraken CLI (gk) is a command‑line tool that provides GitKraken’s features on the terminal. It focuses on “Work Items” (features or issues) to manage multiple repositories as if they were a monorepo, offers AI‑powered commit messages and Pull Request generation, and includes a local MCP server that wraps git, GitHub, Jira, and GitKraken APIs for use with LLMs.

How to use Gitkraken?

Install via Homebrew (macOS), Snap/.deb/.rpm (Unix), Winget (Windows), or download from the releases page. Authenticate with gk auth login, then navigate to a repository, create a work item with gk work create, edit files, commit with gk work commit --ai, push with gk work push, and create a PR with gk work pr create --ai. Use gk help for all commands. For MCP server setup, follow the instructions in the Help Center.

Frequently asked questions

How do I authenticate with Gitkraken?

Run `gk auth login` to authenticate with the GitKraken platform. You can also manage provider tokens with `gk provider`.

What should I do if `gk login` freezes after browser authentication?

This is caused by browsers (like Safari or Brave) blocking the redirect to localhost port 1314. Change your default browser or copy the URL and open it in another browser.

Why is `gk` aliased to something else in my shell?

Oh‑My‑Zsh aliases `gitk` as `gk`. Run `unalias gk` to resolve the conflict.

How do I install Gitkraken CLI on macOS manually?

Download the binary from the releases page, move it to `/usr/local/bin/gk`, then go to Settings > Security & Privacy > General and click “Allow Anyway” if a security error appears.

Where do I find installation instructions for the MCP server?

Specific installation instructions for your chosen AI application are available in the [GitKraken Help Center](https://help.gitkraken.com/cli/gk-cli-mcp/).
