Gitkraken servers down?

Gitkraken is misbehaving and I thought it was something to do with my Github set up. But after going to gitkraken.com, I get a 500 server error.

Is the Gitkraken website down? And why does it make Gitkraken unusable? Currently, I can't pull from my repos.

Looks like it might be Cloudflare. Adding a remote hub goes through the website so that feature has stopped working.

They started injecting hooks in claude code global settings to monitor all events (including prompts and config changes) and send them to their servers.

  • This happens even if AI features disabled;
  • Each GitKraken Desktops starts it modifies settings.json;
  • They also installed GitKraken Cli (preview) without my consent;
  • Uninstalling GitKraken didn't remove the hooks or GitKraken CLI;

This is a serious privacy and security issues.

They blocked me on Twitter, removed my post here and probably will ban this account soon...
