Our New Year’s resolution is to continue to improve the legendary cross-platform GitKraken Git GUI, and we’re starting off with a bang. 🎉 We bring you, GitKraken v7.5.

Several months ago I started the practice of using CFEngine Enterprise and its Mission Portal UI on a daily basis to manage the connected devices in my home. To start, I brought up an old desktop machine, cfengine-hub, to use as my hub and downloaded Enterprise, which is free for use up to 25 hosts. The next step in using best practices is to deploy policy from a version control repository.

There are so many features to enjoy when using GitKraken—it was named the #1 Git client for 2021 after all—so our team periodically shares tips for getting the most out of your chosen Git companion through our #GitKrakenTip blog series.

And you thought you were having a bad day…did you see what happened to the developers over at Nissan? The source code (Git repos) for Nissan’s mobile apps and internal tools was leaked to the Internet because the link was publicly accessible and the password easy to guess. 😬 Yikes.

To enhance and automate your vulnerability analysis, we’re excited to launch the Datadog Vulnerability Analysis GitHub Action. The action enables easy integration between your application, Datadog Continuous Profiler, and Snyk’s vulnerability database to provide actionable security heuristics. The action can be installed directly from the GitHub Marketplace, and does not require you to manage any additional scripts or infrastructure.

I recently found out Travis CI is ending its free-for-opensource offering, and looked at the alternatives. I recently got badly burned by giving an external CI service access to my repositories, so I am now wary of giving any service any access to important accounts. Github Actions, being a part of Github, therefore looked attractive to me. I had no experience with Github Actions going in. I have now spent maybe 4 hours total tinkering with it.

What is a Git branch, and how do you branch in Git? The newest edition in our Learning Git with GitKraken series covers everything you need to know about branching in Git, including how to delete a Git branch, how to create a Git branch, how to rename a Git branch, and how to checkout a Git branch using the GitKraken Git client.

We know, there’s a lot to love about the legendary GitKraken Git GUI. 😉 So much so, that you might not even know about some of the magical capabilities hiding beneath your fingertips. Our #GitKrakenTip series is meant to shed light on the unique delights offered by your favorite coding Kraken. The GitKraken graph offers a beautiful, technicolor visualization of your Git repository, but sometimes, you need to see more details related to your commits.

We created the Fleet Project to provide centralized GitOps-style management of a large number of Kubernetes clusters. A key design goal of Fleet is to be able to manage 1 million geographically distributed clusters. When we architected Fleet, we wanted to use a standard Kubernetes controller architecture. This meant in order to scale, we needed to prove we could scale Kubernetes much farther than we ever had.
