TL;DR: GitKraken acquires CodeSee and launches the unified GitKraken DevEx Platform, enhancing workflows across all major development environments and setting new standards in developer tools. Dive in to discover our powerful new features and how they contribute to simplifying your coding life. Almost a decade ago, we introduced GitKraken Client with a clear mission: make Git simpler for developers.

When you’re working on a complex project, keeping track of all the who’s, what’s, and when’s of code changes can be a daunting task. From deciphering the origins of a specific line to understanding the entire journey your project has undergone through its various stages of development, the challenges can be numerous and nuanced – especially for devs working on large teams.

Code reviews can quickly become code catch-ups – you’re sifting through countless commits, trying to understand the story behind a particular piece of code. Who made this change? When was this pushed? Which files were modified? These blockers can make code reviews feel like wasted time digging through the project’s commit history. That’s where GitLens comes into play, providing powerful Git functionalities right into VS Code.

When it comes to welcoming new developers into a team, a well-thought-out onboarding process is key. It all starts with setting clear goals and expectations right out of the gate, helping everyone understand their role and how it fits into the bigger picture of the company’s objectives. This, paired with a structured training program, can blend the often confusing process of learning the ropes with actual hands-on experience.

To-do lists. Time tracking. Automation. Scripting. Making your cup of coffee in the morning. These are just a few of the hundreds of add-ons available for teams using Jira on the Atlassian marketplace (okay, maybe not the coffee one yet. Get on it, AI). With such a vast array of tools at their disposal, development teams can customize their Jira experience to fit their unique needs, enhancing productivity and efficiency.

With more developers working remotely, traditional code reviews have begun to shift. Classic water cooler conversations have turned into pings on Slack, and collaborative office spaces have transformed into stand-alone home setups. Remote work clearly has many advantages, but it can also leave developers feeling isolated. Asynchronous communication introduces massive bottlenecks for efficient feedback and creative brainstorming, particularly during code reviews.

For developers, streamlining your workflow while coding in a distraction-free and conducive environment is of utmost importance. This is why most developers go for workspaces that can provide most, if not all, the tools and services they need in one place. Less context switching means minimal distractions, hence, more productivity. GitLens is a Git extension for VS Code that provides valuable insights into code authorship and unlocks the full power of Git within VS Code.

Let’s face it – pull requests can be painful. They’re often time-consuming, fraught with merge conflicts, and can leave you waiting around on others or totally disrupt your coding flow. But what if there was an easier way to manage these requests without all the hassles and delays?

For developers working in the Windows environment, selecting the ideal Git client can boost your version control experience. Git clients help manage changes more efficiently, track the history of your projects with greater clarity, and facilitate easier collaboration with team members, regardless of their location. It should provide a tangible interface to navigate branches, review changes, and commit code, minimizing the learning curve for new team members and speeding up the development cycle.

First, let’s break down the differences between mono and multi-repo setups. Mono-repos are exactly what they sound like – singular repositories that hold everything in one place. Multi-repos, however, can scatter the landscape, resulting in separate repos that are all still part of the larger ecosystem. While this approach offers flexibility, it can also make projects way harder to manage.
