GitKraken has released GitLens 19, the biggest evolution of GitLens to date, transforming the Commit Graph from a history visualization into the central workspace for modern development workflows. The release comes as GitKraken's research found 96.4% of engineering organizations now use AI coding tools.
GitLens 19 transforms Commit Graph into central workspace for development workflows.
96.4% of engineering organizations now use AI coding tools.
28% of developers now work primarily with autonomous AI (up from 7.6% in 9 months).
Features include AI-powered Rebase, Merge Conflict Resolution, and Stacked Pull Requests.
Designed for IDEs including VS Code, Cursor, and Antigravity.
GitLens helps developers understand, review, and merge code faster.
GitKraken's research found that 84% of developers already report higher productivity with AI coding tools. The next challenge isn't writing more code. It's understanding, reviewing, and merging it with confidence. The percentage of developers whose primary way of working is autonomous AI has nearly quadrupled in the past nine months, growing from 7.6% to 28%. GitKraken believes the next wave of developer productivity will not come from generating more code. It will come from helping developers understand, validate, and merge that code faster.
GitLens 19 introduces a reimagined Commit Graph that evolves from a history viewer into the central workspace for modern Git workflows; Review to inspect changes earlier and understand AI-generated work; Compose to organize related changes into clean, intentional commits; Compare to instantly inspect commits, branches, and revisions; AI-powered Rebase that intelligently automates rebases; AI-powered Merge Conflict Resolution with intelligent suggestions; Stacked Pull Requests to break larger changes into smaller, dependent PRs; and repository-wide context that brings active branches and worktrees together in a single view.
"AI has fundamentally changed how software gets written, but it hasn't changed what it takes to ship great software," said Eric Amodio, Founder and CTO of GitKraken. "Developers still need to understand what changed, review it, organize it, and merge it with confidence. GitLens 19 reflects that new reality. The Commit Graph is no longer just where you inspect history. It's where modern development work happens."
