Here is a single line to add kraken support in `.zshrc`

gitkraken.zsh

# Open GitKraken using the current repo directory in the cli. 
alias kraken='open -na "GitKraken" --args -p "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"'
# Now you can 'git kraken'!

or same with function, if you like it more:

kraken () {
	/Applications/GitKraken.app/Contents/MacOS/GitKraken -p "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" &>/dev/null &
}

Does this still work for you under Catalina? I used something similar for a long time and now it opens GK, but not the repo/folder.

yes, it works

I should have been more specific. It works if GK is not open, but if the app is open, it this will no longer cause GK to acquire focus and change or open a tab for the repository given on the command line. Does that work for you?

This seems to have been broken with recent updates to GitKraken 7.0.1

I happened to typo this and found a workaround that works with GitKraken 7.1.0 - I added a blank ('', but can be anything) argument before the `-p 'PATH``. I'm going to guess it has to do with argument parsing that GK is doing and they are stripping too many arguments before beginning parsing. My current git alias:

  kraken = !open -na "GitKraken" --args '' -p "$(cd "${1:-.}" && git rev-parse --show-toplevel) && open -a GitKraken; :"

Slight update for anyone who cares - if you happen to have a subrepo or other git-repo inside of another repo this requires a slight fix to use the current working directory instead of just the root of the current repository, so this is my current alias:

  kraken = !open "gitkraken://repo$(cd "${GIT_PREFIX:-.}/${1:-.}" && git rev-parse --show-toplevel); :"
