Hey everyone!<p>Every reviewer loves smaller pull requests, but they can be hard to do practically.<p>We created a Github integration that adds the following features<p><pre><code> - Commit checkpoints (i.e. stacked reviews)
- Autogenerated tabs (based on dependency graphs)
- A central pull request inbox (highlights which PRs need your attention)
</code></pre>
Commit checkpoints helps authors stack smaller changes within a single pull request without having to manage tons of branch offshoots. It works by using the common “[x/n]” prefix notation (where x is the stack number). This is the workflow:<p><pre><code> - Author makes some commits to a branch
- Author is ready to set a review checkpoint, they leave a commit message prefixed with “[1/n]”
- Author continues to make commits, and when ready for the next review checkpoint, leaves a commit message prefixed with “[2/n]”
- etc
</code></pre>
Our UI collapses the in-between commits and makes it easy to see the diff between checkpoints. There’s also a feature to easily walkthrough them sequentially.<p>Lots of things are still WIP, looking for feedback to know what to prioritize next, thanks!
