I hope this post has shed some light on the various ways you can clone a remote repository using the GitKraken Git GUI. Just note that, although you see multiple providers in my screenshots, some of them required a paid version of the GitKraken Git GUI to access, so please check out the plan comparison page on the GitKraken website for more details! Conclusion I won’t show you anymore providers from the dialog, as they all work basically the exact same way, the only difference being that you will need to authorize the GitKraken Git GUI access to your accounts in those services. Once you click the “Clone the repo!” button, the same progress dialog will launch, as well as asking whether you would like to open the newly cloned repository, just like the URL version shown previously. Upon selecting a remote repository from the list, you’ll be presented with the “full path” item, so you can change the local folder name the repository is being cloned into, and the “Clone the repo!” button becoming active. For example, I’ve authorized the GitKraken Git GUI to work with, so I am able to directly select which repository I want to clone -Ĭlick the drop down, and select any repository from your account (or organizations, if you’ve allowed the GitKraken Git GUI access to them). If you’ve authorized the GitKraken Git GUI to interact with one of these other providers (perhaps another post is warranted for that?), you can select which repository you want to clone from a list. Now, I do want to back up just a little bit to the Repository Management dialog to take a look at another provider. You’re ready to work with your repository! Once this process completes, you’ll be asked if you want to open the newly cloned repository -Ĭlicking on “Open Now” will open a new tab in the GitKraken Git GUI to your newly cloned repository. The GitKraken Git GUI will ask you for credentials (if necessary), and then a progress dialog will be shown. Once you’re satisfied, click on, “Clone the repo!” to initiate the clone process. You can change the repository name by typing over the value in that field.

This pre-populates with the “Where to clone to” plus the repository name. With those fields provided, you will be presented with the “Full Path” field. Simply provide the local folder you want to clone the repository into and the URL to the remote repository.įor example, acquire the URL of your repository from GitHub -Īnd paste that value into the GitKraken Git GUI “URL” field. If all you have is a URL that doesn’t correspond with any of the listed providers, you can do that using the “Clone with URL” item at the very top. When “Clone” is selected, we are presented with a multitude of providers to clone our repo from. Once you’ve successfully launched the “Repository Management” dialog, make sure you’re on the “Clone” item on the left-hand side.

On the far left of any open tabs (even the “New Tab”), there is a folder icon. This one is a little more subtle, but always available in view if you need it. Once the “New Tab” page is opened, click on “Clone a Repo” from the menu down the left-hand side. Alternatively, this menu item also comes with a keyboard shortcut of CTRL + N, if you prefer keyboard shortcutsįrom the “New Tab” page, which can be added (if you don’t already have one) by clicking the + button in the tab bar.

Each one of these items will lead to the same “Repository Management” popup dialog, with the “Clone” section selected, which I will show you at the end. There are three ways in the GitKraken Git GUI to “initiate” the cloning of a repository. If you’re new to the GitKraken Git GUI or interested in it, one of the first things you’ll want to do after installing it is clone a repository so you can get to work.
