help Fork FAQ

Is Fork only for Mac, or can Windows users use it too?

Fork is available for both macOS and Windows, so it is not a Mac-only Git client. It is often compared with GitKraken, Sourcetree, Tower, and the Git tools built into Visual Studio Code.

Does Fork support Gitflow branches?

Yes, Fork includes Gitflow support for teams that use feature, release, and hotfix branch conventions. It also gives visual access to common Git actions like merge, rebase, cherry-pick, stash, and interactive rebase.

Can Fork handle merge conflicts better than command-line Git?

Fork can make conflict resolution easier by showing changed files, staged chunks, and history visually. It still uses Git concepts underneath, so you need to understand what a merge, rebase, or detached HEAD means.

Is Fork a subscription app?

Fork has historically used a paid license model after a free evaluation period rather than being fully open source. Check the current Fork.dev pricing page before buying, because app pricing can change.
