Notice
It need to refresh the GitKraken account information after this patch
This patch will modify your license while GitKraken fetching your profile. So if you still got free edition, you should re-login your GitKraken account.
Please ensure the communication with GitKraken server. Somebody may blocked the GitKraken server by the DNS or hosts file, please comment out or remove it temporarily.
If you still got free edition after re-login. Deleting the local profile might help. (Usually the path is %appdata%\.gitkraken
for Windows, or ~/.gitkraken
for Linux or macOS)
On macOS you should patch GitKraken after first launch.
There is a quarantine flag while downloading an App from Internet. If you changed it before the first launch, macOS will think the App was broken.
If you already do that, you can execute sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Application/GitKraken.app
to remove quarantine flag.
Search macos quarantine
for more details.
This patch only works with GitKraken 7.7.0 and later
If you really want to use an older version, you can ref the commit 011e42e
for 7.6.x.
