GitKraken won't open

I've been using GitKraken for a year now with no issues. Then today I go to open it and the app immediately crashes. I have tried restarting my machine (Mac). I've tried reinstalling the app. No luck.

Solution

  • Somehow the .gitkraken config file got corrupted. Maybe a new update doesn't work with an old config schema? I don't know. But the way to fix it is delete the .gitkraken and let a new one get generated on the next app open. This means you will need to sign in and clone your repo again.

    Steps: (Mac)

    1. Open your finder and navigate to /Users/{user}.
    2. Show the hidden files.

      CMD + SHIFT + .

    3. Delete the .gitkraken folder.

    Steps: (Win)

    1. Open explorer and navigate to %appdata%.
    2. Delete the .gitkraken folder.

    Then fire up the GitKraken app. Good as new.
