Starting AI agents is easy. Keeping track of them is the hard part. Kepler runs every agent in one place, from idea to merged, every session visible live. Bring your own agents and models. Free in public preview. gitkraken.com/blog/big-kep... #AIagents #DevTools #Kepler

Running 3 AI agents across 5 repos usually means 12 open terminals and zero idea what's actually happening. Kepler tracks it all in one place. We walk through starting tasks from scratch, from an issue, or from a PR, plus Kanban, list, and console views. youtu.be/KWggzuJiqTA #AgenticDev #Kepler

Which LLM is actually best at git tasks? We built a benchmark to find out. GitBench: 17 categories, 204 test cases, 43+ models tested. Some surprises: frontier models don't always win, and cost doesn't always track with quality. Results → gitbench.gitkraken.com

Have you updated to GitLens 18.3 yet? This release makes AI workflows more capable, conflict resolution smarter, and the Commit Graph even more powerful, plus a completely redesigned Settings experience. Here’s what’s new 🧵👇

Anyone else noticed the Canvas in the Gemini webapp barely works anymore? I can't seem to get the models (3.5 Flash or 3.1 Pro) to use the canvas at all (though they SAY they did) or they do actually use it, but it's only a code file without any preview mode. Been happening for a week or more now.

The layer between plan and main has no owner. That is the gap. And it's now the most expensive problem in software development. We know what breaks. We built the fix. The Code Flow Company, from plan to main. More from our CEO: www.gitkraken.com/blog/gitkrak... #TheCodeFlowCompany

I could have just not paid enough attention before, but I don't remember seeing so many 2-3GB processes before using the tsgo language server in vscode.

It's such a mess. Too bad too because Gemini 3.5 Flash is so insanely fast within it.

Yeah they split the app into 2 apps and completely f'd the migration. On both my machines the IDE doesn't open. I uninstalled the ADE part and then IDE opens again but lost all my config (settings, extensions, etc and their import doesn't work). AND if you install the ADE app again it breaks the IDE

I'll definitely look there when/if I see them tomorrow. I had switched back because of folding (didn't realize how much I used it until it was gone), but seeing that you closed that I'll switch to tsgo again. Most of what I work on (GitLens) is open source.

How best to report one-off issues? I'm on Windows too and get a lot of random notifications about different failures but not sure what causes them and they come and go. Is there a log or something that would help?

Would also love a related Object.hasKeys() so you can avoid a full iteration of the keys to get the count. Since I've rarely actually wanted the count, but wanted to know if there were any keys often.

GitLens hit a milestone that shows what happens when you solve real problems for developers. We started with a simple idea: make Git history visual, intuitive, and actually useful inside VS Code. Eight years later, developers have spoken. Thanks for trusting us with your Git workflow. 🙌

@pnpm.io Is there any way to use `minimumReleaseAge` but have it exclude direct dependencies (if they are targeting a specific version)? I often want to pick a specific dependency in my `package.json`, but still have `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` still enforced for all the indirect deps.
