git-stack VS lazygit.nvim

git-stack is the most complicated, rewriting history, detecting when a branch was squashed, etc

I used to use aliases but got frustrated with them when dealing with PRs depending on PRs, so I wrote git-stack [0]. Thought I'd share in case you'd find it useful

For anyone interested, I've been collecting notes on various tools in this space: https://github.com/epage/git-stack/blob/main/docs/comparison... (granted the page doesn't mention git-stack since that is assumed)

Personally, I rebase my PR branches on top of each other, rather than merge. It creates a cleaner history (if your merge policy allows maintaining branch history). Tired of managing these branches, I wrote a tool to help though there are other tools in this space, like git-branchless and graphite.

git-move and git-branchless do some great stuff, I wish this wasn't focused on the performance side to distract from the real value.

What I find useful is not the performance but this line

> For example, it can move entire subtrees, not just branches

The referenced docs mention other great quality of life improvements that streamline standard workflows (e.g. deleting local PR branches when merged into upstream)

When performance does matter is when the rebase operation is a small part of a larger operation. In my related tool, git-stack [0], I rebase all branches on top of their latest upstream branches along with re-arranging and squashing fixup commits and soon other features. When automating entire workflows, having each part be fast is important for the whole to still have decent performance.

audit for security audits - Separate from regular CI since it only matters for specific changes or when new critical issues come out.

You might be interested in git-stack that I've previously announced

Could you comment on https://github.com/epage/git-stack/issues/25 for why it helps to iterate to find the last non-conflicting commit to rebase onto?

git-stack is the result of me being tired of annoyances in the PR workflow and trying to improve it, like

Fixing branches off of branches when applying a fixup commit (not implemented yet)

lazygit inside neovim might not be a complete replacement for magit (I can't tell yet), but it does everything I need it to for day to day development. I can't remember the last time I launched Emacs for work.

Using tmux, I could just have a shell to pivot into when I want to work with Git. Fine, and I could do that. But I'm using the Neovim plugin for LazyGit. Which takes advantage of this LazyGit UI.

Github - Lazygit.nvim

There is even a plugin for Vim, that lets you open it in a floating overlay. https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

there's a lazygit plugin if you want to skip the step of opening Toggleterm

I really like this lazygit integration: https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

So I use https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim All of my git workflow is done in lazygit gg opens the float and away I go

I don't use IntelliJ, so, I don't know how it exactly looks like. But I use this: https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

Why not just use lazygit.nvim?

But using vim-floaterm instead of the https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim plugin (which mentions a different plugin https://github.com/akinsho/nvim-toggleterm.lua#custom-terminals as an alternative).
