Man, this @elves_skill + @GitKraken workflow is basically perfected, just so good and consistent

kepler agentic development environment from @GitKraken has so much potential man. starting 10 sessions from github issues in parallel is just nice, or starting a codex session directly from a PR.
As developers evolve from coders to orchestrators of agents (plural) to plan, code & review at scale, having tooling that enables them to maintain full clarity and control is a cheat code.
Thanks for the shout out of @GitKraken’s Git client - and our new ADE, Kepler @johnennis!
The reason I like @GitKraken so much is that our entire team is coding so quickly, and on so many projects, it's easy to lose track of what's going on
With a single look at GitKraken, I can quickly see if anything strange is happening, like orphaned branches or upcoming merge conflicts
It has saved me so many times, I lost count a long time ago

If you have the time, please checkout our ProductHunt launch for our new ADE called Kepler

Exciting news loading at a nautical-themed dev tooling company near you (no, not talking about Octopus Deploy). Stay tuned…
Of all the AI coding tools that I use, @GitKraken is the one that I can't imagine living without
Even Claude Code and Codex are more or less interchangeable
But if I didn't have GitKraken, I would really have no fucking idea what is going on with my agents
It would just be a giant, irresolvable mess much of the time

My favourite git GUI @GitKraken added AI support, finally!!!
Can now auto-gen commit messages + description, explain what happened in commits with real code examples and so on.
Hurray what a day to be a dev! 🥳🥳🥳

Recently, I picked up a part time gig working on a React app for a medical logistics startup and decided to use @GitKraken this time around at a full-time capacity. I am in 😍. Merging or rebasing in the GUI is smooth and not one I was expecting. I said goodbye to GitHub Desktop on the first day...lol

Couldn't agree more @RealDinosoar. AZ is a great place to build tech companies of all stages (like @gitkraken)
If you’re an early adopter, I think it’s worth looking into Phoenix as the next big tech hub. Not only do we have sick companies like @GitKraken @GoDaddy @Carvana, new data centers, and new semi conductor fabs, but a load of untapped builders with explosive potential

Somehow, I managed survive as a SWE for almost 10 years without needing to compare two big branches side-by-side, until now. @GitKraken you are the best, always making my life easier.

For a week now I've been using GitKraKen for my GitHub workflow and It's been super easy for me . You can literally do everything on it, create repos, sign commits, branch managements and many more. I highly recommend it .
Thanks to @GitKraken

Our first episode of @GitKraken's podcast series, "Software is a Team Sport", with @crutchcorn just dropped. I had a blast chatting with him. Check it out.

Brutal watching @NoahEagle15 get call after call wrong during the #UMich -UWash game.
Was he blindfolded, having an awful day, or is he always this bad? Stop guessing (or get better at guessing). Dumpster fire for @CBSSports… nowhere near as good as his dad.

What is DevEx? 🤔💭
We asked around and heard from developers across the globe, each with their own take on what makes for a great developer experience. 🌎 And while every developer’s journey is unique, turns out the need for smooth, efficient workflows is universal.
That's why we're excited to launch DevExDays – a celebration of the tools, practices, and innovations that make development easier and more intuitive.
To make it even better, we’re offering up to 80% off your first GitKraken Pro seat with the code DEVEXDAYS24 for a limited time!
And because we believe in supporting the community that supports us, we’re also looking to sponsor open source projects that are making a difference! If you or someone you know is working on something special, we want to hear about it.
Nominate your favorite contributors & projects in the comments with #DevExDays24 for a chance at sponsorship! 🎉
