如何在GitKraken中最大化Diff视图或设置为独立窗口？

When reviewing a massive feature branch with nearly 400 file changes, getting enough space to examine diffs clearly is crucial. Here are practical ways to expand GitKraken's Diff panel to suit your needs, building on the workarounds you've already discovered:

1. Built-in Panel Adjustments (Official GitKraken Features) #

• Drag to full width (with hidden panels)：You mentioned the Diff panel only stretches to 1/3 width by default—this is likely because the left-side commit graph/lanes are taking up space. Try this:
  1. Switch to the Files tree view (click the folder icon in the left sidebar) to hide the commit lanes.
  2. Hover your cursor over the vertical divider between the Files tree and Diff panel until it turns into a double arrow. Drag it all the way to the left edge of the window, and the Diff panel will fill nearly 100% of the window width.
• Switch to horizontal layout: Go to the top menu bar → View → Layout → Horizontal. This swaps the layout so commits sit above the Diff panel instead of to the left. The Diff will now take the full height of the window, and you can drag the horizontal divider to adjust how much space it uses.

2. System Split-Screen Workarounds (Optimized for Your Discoveries) #

Your split-screen findings are spot-on, and you can push them further:

• 50% screen width (full Diff height): Drag the GitKraken window to your screen's edge (Windows: Win + Left/Right; Mac: drag to edge or use Mission Control) to trigger split-screen. GitKraken will auto-switch to horizontal layout, giving the Diff panel full window height and 50% of your screen width—perfect for focused reviews.
• 66% screen width: On Windows, use Win + Left/Right then press Up/Down to select a 2/3 split ratio. On Mac, adjust the split-screen window's width directly in Mission Control. This lets the Diff panel take up 2/3 of your screen, giving even more room to parse complex changes.

3. Temporary Hide Unneeded Panels #

If you don't need the left-side Files tree at all during a review:

• Click the collapse arrow at the top of the left sidebar to hide it entirely. The Diff panel will automatically fill the full width of the GitKraken window.
• Click the arrow again to restore the panel when you're done.

Note: As of now, GitKraken doesn't support detaching the Diff view into a separate standalone window. But the methods above should get you close to a full-screen Diff experience for your large branch review.
