    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

  • Good strategy to follow for small incremental pull request
    1 project | /r/git | 17 Nov 2021
    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.
  • Lightning-fast rebases with Git-move
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Oct 2021
    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.

    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
