Integrations connect GitKraken Desktop to Git hosting services and issue trackers so you can clone repositories, manage remotes, review pull requests, and work with issues from one interface. Use this page to find the right integration for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Trello, and self-hosted services.
This page covers Git hosting and issue tracker integrations. External coding agent CLIs such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode are documented separately in Coding Agents in GitKraken Desktop.
