Released: Jun 16, 2026

Updates in GitKraken Desktop V12.2.1

Features

• The embedded terminal now dims slightly when focus is elsewhere in the app, making it clearer where keystrokes will land.
• Merged PR pills now also appear for GitLab merge requests in the Toolbar, Commit Details panel, and worktree cards, so you know when a branch's work has shipped.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where multi-selecting the WIP and a commit in the graph showed the wrong diff for a specific modified file.
• Fixed an issue on Windows where comparing the WIP with a commit could show an entire file as changed because of line-ending differences.
• Fixed an issue where multi-selecting the WIP and a commit in the graph prevented the navigation of files with the keyboard from working correctly.
• Fixed an issue where GitKraken could spawn background processes uncontrollably while a terminal was open on macOS.
• Fixed an issue where committing inside a submodule outside of GitKraken Desktop did not refresh the parent repository's WIP view.
• Fixed an issue where the Diff View of a selected WIP file kept showing stale content after the file changed externally, showing outdated commit information for submodules.
