如何让GitKraken提交图更接近GitHub Network？支持横向显示吗？
Absolutely! I’ve totally felt your pain—GitKraken’s default graph can feel cluttered compared to GitHub’s clean, intuitive Network view. Luckily, there are several tweaks you can make to get GitKraken’s graph looking much closer to what you’re used to, including enabling horizontal orientation. Here’s how:
1. 切换到横向布局（核心需求）
This is the easiest first step to match GitHub’s horizontal flow:
- Open GitKraken and navigate to the View menu at the top of the window.
- Hover over Graph Orientation, then select Horizontal.
- Your commit graph will immediately flip to a left-to-right layout, just like GitHub Network.
2. 简化图的显示细节
GitHub’s Network is great because it keeps noise to a minimum. Tweak these settings to replicate that:
- Right-click anywhere in the commit graph area and select Graph Settings.
- Toggle off Branch Labels on Every Commit—this will only show branch names on the most recent commit of each branch, just like GitHub.
- Reduce the Commit Size slider to make individual commits smaller, creating a more compact, streamlined view.
- Enable Simplify Merge Commits to hide redundant merge lines, which cuts down on visual clutter (similar to how GitHub simplifies its network graph).
- You can also toggle off other non-essential elements like Commit Tags or Author Avatars if you want an even cleaner look.
3. 调整颜色方案匹配GitHub
GitHub uses muted, consistent branch colors. To get a similar vibe in GitKraken:
- Open GitKraken’s Preferences (click your profile icon in the top-right corner).
- Go to the Appearance tab.
- Adjust the Branch Color Saturation slider to a lower value—this will soften the bright default colors to match GitHub’s more subtle palette.
- You can also manually assign specific colors to frequently used branches if you want to mirror your GitHub repo’s branch color scheme.
While these tweaks won’t make GitKraken’s graph identical to GitHub Network, they’ll get you extremely close in terms of horizontal flow, clarity, and minimalism. I’ve used these settings myself and found they make navigating commit history way easier!
