GitKraken is a robust Git client that can help you take control of your programming code. In this guide, we’ll go over how to install it on Linux systems.
Note: aside from Linux, the GitKraken Git client also supports Mac OS and Windows. For more information, head here.
Ubuntu installation instructions
- In Linux: set theDISPLAY environment variable, download and install the Linux version of GitKraken, and run it. Before we begin Make sure you have WSL 2 installed and configured.
- 一、前言其实之前自己比较喜欢用 git 命令，主要是因为写久了也就那几个命令，已经习惯了。后来工作看到同事们都用 GitKraKen 来提交代码，本着开发工具一致原则也开始安装使用，发现遇到了一个大宝藏，界面交互简.
I've done a clean chroot build for the gitkraken PKGBUILD and note that 'gkt2', 'libcurl-gnutls', and 'rtmpdump' are also obsolete/unneeded. Azd325 commented on 2019-06-19 11:43.

The GitKraken Git client is available for all Ubuntu Linux users, version 16.04 and above, via a downloadable DEB package. If you’re using Ubuntu and want to get the client working, start out by opening up a terminal window on the desktop. You can open a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or Ctrl + Shift + T on the keyboard.
Once the terminal window is open, use the wget command to download the latest DEB version of GitKraken. Alternatively, if you prefer, head over to this link here and download the latest version that way.
After downloading the DEB package file, use the CD command to move into the “Downloads” directory where the package file is located.
Inside of the “Downloads” folder, the installation of GitKraken can begin on Ubuntu. Using the Apt package manager, set up the DEB package on your system.
Debian installation instructions
The GitKraken Git client is supported by Debian versions 9.0, 10.0 and higher. If you’re looking to get the app working on your system, start by launching a terminal window. To launch a terminal press Ctrl + Alt + T or Ctrl + Shift + T on the keyboard.
When the terminal window is open and ready to go, use the wget command to download the DEB package directly from the internet. Alternatively, click on this link here.
Once the download is complete, use the CD command to move into the “Downloads” directory.
Next, use the Dpkg command to start the installation process. Keep in mind that during this installation, you may notice errors pop up on the screen. These are dependency errors and can be fixed by following this guide.
Arch Linux installation instructions
Arch Linux does not enjoy official support like other Linux distributions. However, it doesn’t matter, as the Arch community has an AUR package that gets it working anyways. To install it on your system, start by launching a terminal and use the Pacman command to set up the “Git” and “Base-devel” packages.
With the two packages set up on your Linux PC, use the git clone command to download the Trizen AUR helper.
Set up the Trizen app with the makepkg command.
Finally, use the trizen command to set up the latest version of GitKraken.
Fedora installation instructions
Fedora Linux has an RPM package file available for those who want to set up GitKraken. To install the app, open up a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or Ctrl + Shift + T on the keyboard. After that, use the wget command to download the file. Or download it here.
Using the CD command, move the terminal window into the “Downloads” directory.
Finally, install GitKraken on Fedora Linux with the dnf command.

or via the latest version of Sparky APTus.
The GitKraken project page: gitkraken.com
The application is added thank’s to Daniel request.
There is a small addition to APTus Office module as well, provided by Elton, called MS Font Installer, which installs the Microsoft fonts for you.
