What's new in 12.4.0
“Counterspell any agent action.” New ✨ - Start Agent Sessions from an Issue: - You can now start an agent session directly from an issue in Launchpad and from issues in the Left Panel. GitKraken will create a new branch for that issue, open it in a worktree, and launch your selected coding agent with the issue’s context so it can start working right away. - In Launchpad, select “Start an Agent Session” in the ACTION column on any issue without an associated branch yet to have an agent start working on it. You’ll be prompted with a setup modal to confirm the branch name, coding agent, and other settings before launching the agent. - In the Left Panel, right-click on any issue and select “Start an Agent Session”, which opens the same setup modal. The option appears only for issues that don’t already have an associated branch. - Address Claude permission requests without switching worktrees: - The Agent Sessions panel now shows pending permission requests from Claude Code with allow and deny actions so you can keep Claude working without switching into the worktree. - If relevant, you can also preview the command Claude is asking permission to run by clicking the caret inline with the allow/deny actions to reveal the command. Improvements 🙌 - When you sign in with a single profile, GitKraken now automatically connects all the Git providers linked to your gitkraken.dev account, so they’re ready to use right away. - Added a Ctrl+Alt+F (Cmd+Option+F on Mac) shortcut to focus the search input on the New Tab. - When a branch is checked out in a worktree, right-clicking it in the co...
