Summary

GitKraken support reports recurring questions about AI credits, student plans, integrations, and Mac performance. Bring-your-own-key AI users still consume a small amount of GKAI credits because GitKraken services deliver the feature even when external model keys handle processing. GitHub Student Pack benefits now provide new students with a six-month Pro trial and a discounted upgrade option, while eligibility for former students depends on prior free-trial usage. Since version 12.3.0, integrations are managed through gitkraken.dev before syncing to Desktop, GitLens, and Kepler, so older broken integrations generally require disconnecting and reconnecting through the website, potentially after revoking old OAuth permissions. Mac users are advised to install the GitKraken Desktop build matching their Intel or Apple Silicon chipset to avoid unnecessary CPU and GPU use, overheating, and loud fan activity.
