Open the Terminal to run Git CLI commands while viewing the Commit Graph.

To get started, open a repository and click the Terminal button in the toolbar, or search for “terminal” using the Command Palette .



Git Commands and Auto-complete

The GitKraken Terminal supports most Git commands. Start typing git to see command suggestions via auto-complete.



Flag suggestions are also supported:



Note: Conflicting auto-complete programs may disable suggestions. You may need to uninstall or disable such programs for GitKraken’s suggestions to work correctly.

Customize Terminal Preferences

Visit Preferences > In-app Terminal to modify your terminal settings.



Default Terminal on macOS and Linux

GitKraken supports ZSH and Bash. To switch shells:

• Set the preferred shell as default in your OS settings.
• Restart your machine to apply changes.

Default Terminal on Windows

PowerShell and Bash are currently supported. To change the shell:

• Open Preferences > Terminal .
• Set the Default Terminal to your desired shell.

Tip: Try Common Git Commands

Use the terminal to quickly execute common Git operations:

• git status – View working directory and staging status
• git commit -m "message" – Commit changes with a message
• git log --oneline – View a condensed commit history

These commands complement GitKraken’s visual graph for a comprehensive Git experience.
