Improved WSL 2 support

We’ve heard that WSL is an important part of many of our users’ development setups, and as WSL’s popularity continues to grow, we’re excited to start offering some improvements for users working in this environment. To give users an opportunity to get a more native-like experience as quickly as possible, we’ve improved the Linux version of the GitKraken Client to fix common issues when operating in a WSL 2 environment.

With 9.1, users can now install the GitKraken Client in a WSL 2 distribution with WSLg and work better with their Linux repos. For the best experience, we recommend users to install the GitKraken Client on both the Windows machine and the WSLg Linux distro. This allows users to quickly switch between the GitKraken Client on each of their operating systems.

For more information about WSL 2 / WSLg, and the additional features we’ve introduced to better manage the GitKraken Client in this environment, check out the help center documentation.

Workspace improvements

Workspace columns can be sorted by archives, issues, pull requests, and WIP tables. This should help you organize your Focus View or Team View better.

GitKraken Insights is now available for Cloud Workspaces connected to Azure DevOps to help Azure DevOps users measure how quickly pull requests are merged.

And all GitKraken Insights metrics now have a dropdown to change the time period between a 7-day or 14-day time period for licensed users.
