Sign in with GitHub

GitKraken lets you log in with your GitHub account. Yay, one less password to remember 🎉

When logging into GitKraken, click and log in with your credentials. This will automatically connect your account for the GitHub integration.

GitHub Authentication

To authenticate with GitHub, navigate to the upper right corner to access Preferences Integrations

Or alternatively if you are in the New Tab view, click on Preferences under Customize.

From the Integrations window, select GitHub.com and then hit the button.

This opens a web browser where you first log in with your GitHub credentials to allow GitKraken access.

Upon login, a success message appears and the connection will be active in GitKraken.

Generating an SSH Key for GitHub

Note 📝 - GitKraken uses your SSH key defined in Preferences SSH for git operations unless you set up a GitHub-specific SSH key, or enable your local SSH Agent.

Once your GitHub account has been connected to GitKraken, generate an SSH key and add it to your GitHub account from Preferences Integrations.

Click the magic button and watch what used to be 8 steps be completed in one.

Alternatively, add a key from SSH Defaults with or an existing key pair through Add existing SSH key.

OAuth integration with GitHub

GitKraken's integration with Github provides handy information about your repositories.

First, you may search through your existing repositories when cloning:

Next, GitKraken presents a list of forks of the current repository when adding remotes:

Of course, you still have the option of manually entering repo URLs.

Why can't I see my remotes or repositories in the drop down menu?

If no remotes or repositories are appearing in Add Remote or Clone, you may need an organization to first allow access.

GitKraken cannot see those repos when cloning or adding a fork unless the org specifically gives permission to GitKraken as an application.

• First check to see if access is allowed to GitKraken from your profile's GitHub Applications
• If access has been allowed, then the organization will need to allow Organization Approval
• If you are attempting to use GitKraken with a repository owned by a different individual, consider forking their repository to use GitKraken for your changes. Otherwise this other individual will need to first install GitKraken and connect it to GitHub (as shown in this page above) to authorize GitKraken.

Connecting to multiple GitHub accounts

GitKraken connects to one GitHub account at a time. However, with GitKraken Pro's multiple profile support, you can easily switch between profiles that each have their own associated GitHub accounts.
