Dictate in any app · Code
A visual git client makes branching obvious and commit messages no easier to write. Typally works at the keyboard level, so anywhere GitKraken accepts typing, it accepts your voice instead.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where GitKraken has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.None. The commit message box is a plain text field.
GitKraken removes the friction from staging, branching and merging, which leaves the commit message as the slowest part of committing. So it stays one line, and the history stays useless.
In practice people use it for: Commit message summaries and bodies, pull request descriptions, and issue comments through its integrations.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside GitKraken:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — GitKraken decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Push to talk, say your piece, release to transcribe.
The summary and body are separate fields. Click into the body before dictating anything longer than a line.
Typally types into the commit body field so writing a real explanation costs about as long as saying it. Custom vocabulary keeps branch, service and module names intact, which matters in a message that will be read by grep as often as by a person.
A developer starts speaking a two-sentence body on every non-trivial commit. When a regression appears months later, git log explains the reasoning instead of listing 'fix' twelve times.
Use the message body, not just the summary line. The summary says what changed; the body is where why lives, and why is what git log is for.

No. Its message fields are plain text inputs.
For anything non-trivial, yes. The summary is a headline; the body is the explanation.
Yes, wherever it gives you a text field.
