(disclaimer: I'm an engineer at Graphite) - With the bidirectional GH sync and essentially fully featured product at the free tier, we've built this to be very easy to try out individually without needing to get your whole team bought in and invest in education up front.

Yo this is already my GitHub flow. Stacking PRs, rebasing, force push for clean commit log. The one thing I hate is approving PRs one by one and having to make sure the order of my stacked PRs are approved in the right order. Also having to update a previous branch in the stack and then rebasing all the stack above it individually Seems like this fixes this nuisance Edit: After using it this morning I can fully conclude that this is the shit. I had a backlog of 9 branches that I had to stack into a PR. All I had to do was run `gt track` and choose the parent for each branch I made before using graphite. Then I ran `gt-ss` and it stacked all my branches into a stack of PRs. Amazing. It turned out I had forgot to push a branch to remote and Graphite found it and recommended for the child to to track it. Sick! Cheers to the time save in the future

[@noepion2474]

​@@flarebear5346 (disclaimer, Graphite engineer here) - Totally! My first job was at a company where tooling like this was the default, so I honestly never really learned Git well until I started mapping these concepts on top of it to build this tool. At that job, the playing field felt much more level for junior folks because there wasn't a massive amount to learn before starting to be productive.

[@TheBswan]

That's a you problem. I like being aware of new tech, but I'm not interested in adopting everything. Like I get the value of this tool, but for my preferences I don't think it's worth the cost of additional abstraction. Make your own decisions and recognize that you can have the fanciest stack but it's only worth as much as you build.

[@tapwater424]

Stop being susceptible to trends and just get good at the fundamentals. You're like a consumer drooling over Marvel merchandise. Or a moth to a lamp. Whatever you prefer. Most new things just reinvent the wheel without adding much benefit, often introducing problems that time tested solutions didn't face in the first place. We already see start-ups founded no more than 10 years ago struggle with technical debt because they chose a hype driven tech stack. Half of their choices are now deprecated whereas some 20-30 year old technologies still prevail. Graphite makes a Microsoft owned project, GitHub, a greater dependency of your workflow. It might not integrate well with different teams' workflow. It adds no extra features. It delays the day you'll eventually have to learn git (which is needed if you switch to a workplace that uses GitLab or Gitea). It seems that Graphite has forced the git usage with the worst possible GitHub experience to force reviewers to also use their product. If you want a clean commit history while having lazy commit habits just squash before merging.

[@joshuakb2]

My company doesn't know the meaning of the term pull request. We all push to the same server and there's no review process, which means force push is 100% outlawed. We always rebase local, unpushed changes, we never rebase anything that has been pushed already. Works pretty well for us

[@ShayRubachOfficial]

[@3ventic]

The review UI looks like a significant improvement over github. I'm not so sure about the local workflow; I love my git worktrees and existing shell shortcuts. I do already conduct my work in terms of changes; the initial commit for a change usually comes before its branch. I'm really curious how it handles the force pushes when you have someone else depending on your changes in their own changes and the new version you push causes a conflict with theirs. This has been the big pain point with force pushes in my experience and I don't see a clear way that Graphite could resolve that, being built on top of git still.

[@Jacob-Gold]

(eng @ Graphite) Because we track each branch as not just a pointer to a commit, but as a range of commits that can be moved around at will, we'll automatically pull down the new version of your coworkers branch and keep yours stacked on top of it - so we "restack" your changes on your coworker's!

[@3ventic]

@@Jacob-Gold it sounds like the equivalent of a rebase replaying the local commits on top of the updated remote branch, which is exactly what's caused me a lot of headaches in the past. Did I understand correctly?

[@Jacob-Gold]

​@@3ventic Oops, looks like my reply never posted! We do something likely very close to what you used to do, with one key difference. The CLI tracks the _beginning_ of each branch as well as its parent, so when we "restack", we only replay those commits actually included in the stacked branch. To be concrete, let's say my coworker has a branch A consisting of commits 1-2 and I have a stacked branch B where I added commits 3-4. If my coworker rebases that branch, of course, new comits 1'-2' will be created. Now I update my copy of A to match. Running just a `git rebase A B` will attempt to replay all commits from the merge-base of A and B onto A, which results in replaying 1-2-3-4 on top of 1'-2', so you end up being asked to resolve conflicts between two commits that did the exact same thing. Instead, what we want to do is `git rebase --onto A B`, which will only replay 3-4 on top of A. Source: git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase The Graphite CLI keeps track of that in its metadata to ensure that you only ever get sent to conflict resolution when there are truly conflicting changes to resolve. If the explanation here wasn't super clear, we have a blog post coming out soon that explains this in more detail!

[@3ventic]

@@Jacob-Gold That's sufficient detail, thanks! I'll ultimately have to give it a try to form a full opinion.

[@WanjasBely]

It seems to be a very handy solution. I'm the person who is rebasing, force-pushing and approving PRs, but my company is quite small, so handling 2-3 peoples PRs that way is not that painful. I would try the Graphite's approach, but there some issues: * No Windows support (there is wsl and they work on native support, but right now I'm out of luck) * There is VS code extension, but no support for Intellij yet So I'll try it on Monday on my Linux machine I'm concerned how well a mix of Graphite and "normal" PRs on the same repo going to work together. Probably the only way to know is to give it a try.

[@Jacob-Gold]

(Graphite engineer here) Give it a try and let us know how it goes! We're working on better support for more surfaces like Windows and IntelliJ, I'd recommend joining our Slack community to stay up to date with that progress :) And there is actually a way to get the webview from the VSCode extension running in your browser via a CLI command that hosts the same server. With respect to your second question - lots of folks have successfully adopted Graphite individually within larger teams - we've invested a lot of time into ensuring the bidirectional sync works well from all angles.

[@odytrice]

One feature that I think Graphite is missing that would make it an instant sell for me. Is the ability to create Stack Changes on Multiple Repos at the same time.

[@DeanRTaylor]

It's interesting but it doesn't seem to drastically change anything, for most companies they're not going to pay for this and like react and other frameworks businesses will just go with what works and what is popular to make sure they can hire engineers.

I don’t care a lot about the github notification, but having an easy way to track dependencies across PRs would be great since I’m often the bottleneck (team waiting for my review) and teammates have to remember to update everything in the correct order after approval. Problem is, convincing my team to use this :,)

[@itsbazyli]

You can do that in GH, just set your dependent PR's base branch as the other PR's branch. Once the other PR is merged, GH will automatically switch the base branch of your dependent PR to the branch the parent PR was merged to. Works great for stacking multiple PRs and keeping track of dependencies.

[@itsbazyli]

I thought about this extensively in the past and I think we should go much further. Our IDEs should track the changes we make by saving AST diffs that retrace our steps, rather than plaintext diffs from commits. Commit is the wrong abstraction for changes. These AST diffs could then be rolled up to a single "chunk of change" (or commit). That way every "chunk of changes" could live independently of one another, almost like a Photoshop layer that you could toggle visibility for on or off. Git needs to be fundamentally rethought, and this isn't going far enough. This Graphite tool isn't the 10x improvement that would make me want to re-learn how I use git today, and I don't think it'll be sufficient for large orgs, given the learning curve that's already involved.

[@tapwater424]

Do you mean regular trees, or do you want git to only work for languages that can be represented in abstract syntax trees?

[@itsbazyli]

@@tapwater424 I mean you'd get a better experience if you were to use a language with an AST representation, or some other more advanced representation of changes. Obviously for regular text files you'd still fallback to plain old diff, but even then you could still make rebasing less of a thing by having the editor track incremental changes much more granularly than by commits. Let's say you move a paragraph from 3rd line, to 5th line, and a different committer simultaneously adds a few words to that paragraph on the 3rd line. When you rebase against each other, right now you need to resolve that conflict manually. If the VCS were to track what *actions* you performed (i.e. "moving the paragraph down 2 lines", "inserting words inside the paragraph"), it could resolve the conflict automatically, by re-applying the same changes in the new position.

[@tapwater424]

@@itsbazyli Sounds like it would be heavily integrated to the IDE then. Git's strength is that it works with any editor and it works nicely with almost any file. But more importantly: git is very performant compared to other version control systems. Internally git does not use diffs*, that's purely a human readable representation. Git stores a full blob for each version of a file. If you modify a 1 kb file six times it creates approx 6 kb of blobs. If git had to do expensive calculations for each operation it would be unusable with large projects. Large C++ projects are already impossible to compile on machines with 8 GB ram because the AST is too large. Imagine trying to store the one million commits of the Linux kernel as an AST in your computer's memory. *exceptions are files larger than core.bigFileThreshold (512mb by default) and some other weird heuristics

[@itsbazyli]

@@tapwater424 Well I see this IDE/editor integration as an optional addition. If you have it, you get better experience, but if not, you fallback to the regular diffing. As far as your performance argument, I completely disagree. One of my gripes with git is that it is incredibly slow when doing anything more advanced. Regular rebases sometimes take tens of seconds of computation, even on top-of-the-line hardware. The reason git is so slow is because it reapplies the same changes over and over, and does it in the filesystem. The layering system would be much faster, because if wouldn't need to recompute the same changes every time (they could easily be cached), and it wouldn't operate on the FS until all the operations were fully applied in memory.

[@raphahardt]

What about handling conflicts?

[@Jacob-Gold]

[I work at Graphite] - When a restack hits a conflict, it puts you in the same that a git rebase would - so let's say I modify a branch which has another one stacked on it that changes the same file. The modify command under the hood would first amend the commit (or create a new one), then start the rebase. If your modification conflicts with the stacked branch, the CLI will then pause the rebase and have you resolve that conflict just like Git!

[@chyldstudios]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@brandonjoaocastillo7490]

[@n4bb12]

I do stacked PRs all the time. I wish GitHub had better support for it. At least, they seem to have resolved the ghost merge conflicts that you get when the base branch auto-switches to main.

[@Jacob-Gold]

(Graphite eng here) - The best I can tell, they are still around - they just only show up when two consecutive stacked PRs change the same file, and you are using either Squash-and-merge or Rebase-and-merge. Our "Merge N..." button does a rebase in between each PR to get rid of the ghost conflict so that we can merge each PR without hitting the ghost conflict. We're doing some fun `git cherry` calculations on the backend to ensure we handle all the edge cases :)

[@user1234-iu1jg]

No thank you, i can see the appeal. But this increases the cost and increases the complexity(more things to learn, ui, cli to get used to, abstraction etc). most of it seems to be some git commands and some small kind of svn ideas, which is cool, not sure what to think about it.
