GitKraken Desktop 12.0.1 Update

GitKraken acknowledged that version 12.0 of its Desktop application installed Claude Code hooks without notifying users or offering an opt-out option, sometimes disrupted existing Claude Code configurations due to incompatibility with older versions, and did not remove the bundled CLI or hooks when the application was uninstalled. The company said updated versions now provide fixes, including preventing automatic reinstallation after users remove hooks, while explaining that the CLI remains after uninstall to avoid affecting other GitKraken products and can be removed manually. GitKraken also clarified that its telemetry is limited to the coding agent in use and the hook event name, and stated that it will shift from monthly releases to a more frequent schedule while improving communication, user choice, and release practices.
