Summary

GitKraken has launched a public preview of a ground-up rewrite of its CLI, centered on a new “Work Item” concept designed to streamline feature and bug-fix workflows. A Work Item groups project-management context, Git hosting, local repositories, and Git operations into a single unit of work, including support for coordinating changes across multiple repositories. Rather than manually creating branches, writing commit messages, opening pull requests, and cleaning up afterward, users can use commands such as `gk work start` to create and switch to a branch, `gk work commit --ai` to generate context-aware commit messages, `gk work pr create --ai` to produce pull request titles and descriptions, and `gk work end` to return repositories to their default branches and remove work branches after merging. The redesign aims to reduce repetitive development tasks and save time, particularly for developers managing multi-repository projects.
