We never talk about pregnancy in the workplace. Maybe it's time to change that. Tech is still male-dominated, which creates a ripple effect: poor maternity policies, overworked expecting developers, and privacy-invasive apps that fail the people who need them most. But what happens when a developer decides to solve this problem themselves? Rizel built a pregnancy app she could actually trust. Not because existing solutions didn't exist, but because they weren't built with real privacy, real needs, and real developer insight in mind.

GitKraken MCP (Model Context Protocol) brings repository intelligence directly into VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI-powered IDEs so your agent stops guessing and starts understanding your actual workflow. Instead of manually explaining your branch structure or digging through issues in your browser, MCP connects your AI agent to the actual state of your repositories. It understands your branches, your issue tracker, your pull requests, and your commit history—then helps you start work, resolve conflicts, and review code without leaving your editor.

Git worktrees let developers work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or losing context. Learn how to use Git worktrees to handle parallel development, urgent hotfixes, and code reviews without the single-threaded pain of constant branch switching. In this tutorial, GitKraken Senior Product Director Justin Roberts shows you how to set up Git worktrees using both the command line and GitKraken Desktop. You'll see real-world examples including handling critical bugs, reviewing pull requests without disrupting your current work, and managing multiple feature branches at once.

GitHub Copilot won't replace you. But developers who master it might have an edge over those who don't. Frank Boucheros dropped serious wisdom at GitKon about this exact reality. His take? Copilot will enhance developers, but only if we learn to use it properly.

Most software intelligence tools take months to implement, cost a fortune, and end up collecting dust. GitKraken Insights is different. It helps engineering leaders measure what matters: AI impact, code quality, delivery performance, and developer experience, all in one place. It’s the latest evolution of the GitKraken DevEx platform, trusted by over 40 million developers. Insights connects data from across your GitKraken tools to give you a complete picture of engineering health and value. We're talking DORA metrics, pull request metrics, and AI impact.

Ever feel like you're drowning in documentation scattered across Confluence, Slack, Jira, and Git commits? Kyle Fransham, Senior VP of R&D at Superna, shares why every developer should run their own local LLM and shows you exactly how to do it. In this GitKon talk, Kyle reveals how to turn your personal "master document of knowledge" into a queryable AI assistant running directly on your laptop. No cloud dependencies, no organization bottlenecks...just your own development copilot that understands your unique workflows, tips, and tribal knowledge.

Stop wasting hours rediscovering your own work. Developer change logs shouldn't require commit archaeology every week. Bill Harding, CEO and Lead Developer at GitClear, breaks down how AI can finally automate one of development's most tedious intermittent tasks.

Your AI coding assistant just got Git superpowers. GitKraken MCP (Model Context Protocol) brings repository intelligence directly into VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI-powered IDEs—so your agent stops guessing and starts understanding your actual workflow.

In this episode, Jayson Phillips, Head of Engineering at Magpie Literacy, tells us about his journey from marketing to engineering. He also shares insights into how he uses Obsidian as a Knowledge Management platform. This week, our chat touches on a variety of topics including.

The best developers we know aren't afraid of AI. They're learning to speak its language. GitHub Cloud Solutions Engineer Ambily Kavumkal Kamalasanan breaks down the new skills that separate thriving developers from those getting left behind.

Back to basics. Back to speed. GitKraken Desktop 11.5 is about fixing what was slowing you down. Large repos now open in seconds, stashes refresh instantly, and repos with thousands of refs load without breaking a sweat. Highlights: This release is about speed, reliability, and bringing GitKraken back to its core: a Git client that just works. And works fast. Welcome to 11.5.

Managing multiple repositories shouldn't mean running the same Git commands dozens of times. GitKraken CLI brings multi-repo actions, unified Git workflows, and standardization to command line developers who need bulk operations across their entire workspace. In this GitKon presentation, Louis Silvio (Software Engineer & Cloud Architect at GitKraken) demonstrates how the GitKraken CLI solves the context-switching chaos that slows down modern development teams.

Jeff Hollan (Snowflake Director of Product) gave a talk called "Building Adaptive Teams for AI" that addresses something we're all navigating: how career growth works when teams are adapting to AI workflows.
