Using Project Directories
I've been using GitKraken for a number of years and it was only today that I found a really nice feature which has been staring me right in the face all this time.
Project Directories.
I have 2 directories on my laptop that I save all my git repos in. I have a "personal" and "work" directory. They are pretty self explanatory, they keep my personal projects and my work projects separate.
While working on a work project today I noticed the button on the "open repo" screen that said Project Directories, I decided to click it to see what it did. I had just presumed that it was a feature I didn't need, I was wrong!
The screencast below shows you where the link is :
Once clicked, I point GitKraken to either of my directories and then it shows you all my directories within that folder. What I really like is GitKraken then remembers these two folders so I can get to the repos much quicker!
Much quicker than clicking "Open a repository" which opens up a dialog box and then I need to navigate to the folder.
It's maybe only a couple of seconds I'm saving but when working on a lot of projects in one day, all those seconds add up!
Like the look of this? Why not give GitKraken a go - it's free to download.
