Projects in GitKraken
There are three ways to start a Git repository when working on a project:
- Open - Open a local Git repository already initialized and available locally.
- Clone - Clone a remote Git repository already initialized.
- Init - Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one.
Opening an existing project
GitKraken allows you to load your existing repositories and pick up where you left off. It's also useful for visualizing past work done.
If you're coming from a Git project you already have locally, navigate to File Open Repo to get started immediately in GitKraken.
Cloning an existing project
If your project is not on your local machine or you want a new copy, clone the project through File Clone.
This will then prompt you to open the newly copied project in GitKraken. Opera gx chrome os.

Delete a repository
You may delete a repository by first navigating to the folder icon in the upper left corner of the GitKraken UI.
Winamp history free. Then browse through your repo list and right-click on the repository you wish to delete from your local machine.
If you are unable to delete the repository, first make sure it is closed in GitKraken and then close any other applications which may be working with files in the repository. Restart GitKraken and try the delete again.
Deleting the repo from within GitKraken will only delete your local copy of the repository. If you wish to delete your remote repository, you will need to perform that action directly by logging into your remote hosting service (GitHub, GitLab, etc).
