gitkraken — Claude Code plugin: what it does, how to install

/plugin install gitkraken@claude-plugins-official
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-officialWhat gitkraken does
The plugin exposes repository context and issue trackers to Claude Code. Instead of inferring project state from an open buffer, the agent inspects real commit history, branches, pull requests, and tickets. It supports GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, and Jira.
The tool requires Claude Code CLI version >2.x+. GitKraken currently labels this integration as Preview. Features and behavior may still adjust across future updates. You query repository status using standard conversational prompts directly in the terminal.
