Hot questions for Using GitLab in gitkraken

Question:

Pushing and Pulling data from Remote Repos. Pushing takes any local changes, and making them available on the remote. Push the currently checked out branch by clicking Push in the main toolbar, or by right clicking on the branch, and selecting Push. Pushing attempts to upload any new commits to the remote branch, then fast-forward the remote to bring it up to date with the local repo. 3,108 likes 15 talking about this. GitKraken is the intuitive and elegant Git GUI for Windows, Mac & Linux. GitKraken can be connected to Github, Gitlab, or Bitbucket accounts through OAuth.

Already tried:

Answer:

I had the same problem, this what I found:

This was a licensing change we made 3 months ago. When we made the change, we gave all existing users a 3 month free trial, which are all expiring this week. Sounds like yours is one of them

Question:

Gitkraken Gitlab Private Repo

I've been having a hard time getting the auth to work with ssh keys (don't want to be prompted for user and pass every time). Configuration options / tutorials for this issue are scarce/nonexistant.

Here is the setup:

  • I believe the repo from Gitlab was added with https, can't find a way to change this, don't know if it's important.

  • I'm running Windows 10 with git-bash and have followed the tutorial on Github to generate the keys and add them to the ssh-agent. Added the public one to my gitlab profile and can 'ssh -T git@gitlab.com' successfully.

  • Have messed around with the profile inside .gitkraken and changed the paths for the ssh keys to: 'useLocalAgent': true, 'privateKey': 'C:Usersmendo.sshid_rsa', 'publicKey': 'C:Usersmendo.sshid_rsa.pub'.
  • When I do a pull I'm always prompted to insert the username and pass (even though I started the ssh-agent process from the git-bash).

Don't know how I can solve this so any help you guys can provide will be much appreciated.Also, can't find a single way in app or online to remove/delete a repository from the app (I hope it's not obvious and I'm making a fool of myself).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer:

If the repo was cloned with HTTPS then no changes to SSH settings will work. You will first have to change the URL for your remote. Luckily you can do this inside GitKraken.

First you should navigate to your repo in GitKraken.

  1. In the left panel expand the remote group (represented by a cloud).This panel may be hidden, if so you'll need to click the right facing arrow symbol that should appear under the folder icon in the top left.

  1. With the remote group expanded you should see a source called Origin. Hovering over this item reveals a vertical '..', that is the options button.
  1. Click options and select 'Edit Origin'. This will open a sub-window that that will have two text boxes you can edit. The push and pull urls. switch these from https://gitlab.com/user/repo.git to git@gitlab.com:user/repo.git

Once these steps are done then you can start changing GitKraken's ssh settings. In Windows if you aren't using Pagent (from PuTTY) then you shouldn't select 'use local agent' in GitKraken. Without Pagent you can only use one key at a time and change the settings when you need to change keys.

If you wanted to use the command line to change the URL you can run the git-bash equivalent to git remote set-url git@gitlab.com:user/repo.git from within the repo's root directory.

Question:

I would like to integrate my GitLab account with GitKraken through the Preferences>Authentication>Connect to GitLab feature in GitKraken. However this redirects to GitLab.com and my GitLab account is provided through my unversity at gitlab.tubit.tu-berlin.de. Using my university credentials at gitlab.com doesn't work and I can't figure out how to integrate the version of GitLab available through my university with GitKraken. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer:

Based on that URL, I strongly suspect that your university is using a self-hosted instance of GitLab. According to their Twitter account, as of March 10, 2017, GitKraken does not support self-hosted GitLab instances.

Question:

I have two 'disconnected' branches in GitKraken, which I cannot merge together. When I am checked out in one branch, I cannot right-click on the other one. Pushing/pulling to/from the server does not resolve anything. Is there any way to fix this?

I am not sure what my steps were to get to the problems, but it was roughly like this:

  • Create git-repo locally
  • make some edits, initialize Git Flow, et cetera.
  • Made the decision to add an remote location, on Gitlab
  • Created a new repo there
  • First commit on master (included a README.md because I was unsure how to push from GitKraken to an empty repo)
  • Pulled master from GitKraken
  • Pushed develop to Gitlab

Answer:

I solved it by going to Gitlab, and make a pull request from develop to master there (and accept it). Fetching and pulling in GitKraken makes sure they are connected (as seen in the below picture).

Question:

I am a totally noob in GIT. I cloned a repo from a project in Gitkraken, which is connected to GitLab.My question is: If I delete the repo at my PC's folder, would it affect the repos at the others PC's? I am little feared that I can delete the whole project from the other computers.

Thank you very much if you can help me

Gitkraken Gitlab Self Managed

Answer:

no, by deleting a local folder in the git repository you only delete it locally.

However, if you commit the changes and push them to the upstream repo on the server, the deleted files will only be accessible through older states of the git repository.

I recommend a good read of some git tutorials and how synchronization in git works.
