Anyone got a solution of how to make my Repo 'non-private' or how to make GitKraken let me open this without the Pro Plan?

Already tried:

Answer 1

6.5.1 is the last version to support private repo. You can see the release details at this link https://blog.axosoft.com/gitkraken-v6-0/#pricing-changes OR https://support.gitkraken.com/release-notes/6x/

And you can also download it (Mac version) from Axosoft https://release.axocdn.com/darwin/GitKraken-v6.5.1.zip OR https://release.gitkraken.com/darwin/GitKraken-v6.5.1.zip

I not sure how to turn off the automatic update function, so if you turn off GitKraken completely and reopen it, it will update to the latest version.

Installing older version of Gitkraken is the only solution I guess to work on private repo if you want it for free and without student developer pack.

From the release notes, the last version to support private repo is v6.5.1.

I had the same problem, this what I found:

They say, and I quote -

This was a licensing change we made 3 months ago. When we made the change, we gave all existing users a 3 month free trial, which are all expiring this week. Sounds like yours is one of them

BTW worth noting that if you're a student, you can use GitKraken for free: https://www.gitkraken.com/student-resources
