Use links to quickly share specific remote repositories, commits, branches, and tags with your teammates to open them in GitKraken Desktop.
Get links from menus
You can find links in most right-click context menus throughout GitKraken Desktop.
Sharing links
With the link copied to your clipboard, you can paste anywhere to share with others through communication tools like Jira, GitHub, Slack, or Teams.
When you have a link shared with you, simply click and away you go!
Additional information:
- If the link is to a branch, commit, or tag, and the repository is not open, GitKraken Desktop will attempt to open the repository.
- If you do not have the repository cloned, GitKraken Desktop will ask if you want to clone the repository, take you to the clone modal, and autofill the clone information.
- If you have multiple copies of a repository on your local machine GitKraken Desktop will prompt you asking which repository you want to open.
