Ask HN: Alternatives to Graphite.dev to work with stacked branches with Git?

1 pointsby Timotheeabout 1 year ago
I&#x27;ve been using Graphite (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;graphite.dev) for a few months to manage my git branches.<p>Graphite promotes the use of stacked branches, which I use somewhat but not a ton. Their command line tool is very convenient to update branches and create PRs. They also have a pretty decent dashboard to do code review and manage your PRs and PRs waiting on you. I barely use it, but it&#x27;s well made.<p>Recently, they&#x27;ve been moving everyone to paid team plans with a minimum of $100&#x2F;month for 5 seats. My coworkers haven&#x27;t shown much interest, so that would be a significant jump.<p>I&#x27;m wondering what alternatives I should look at. It&#x27;s quite possible that a collection of git scripts might suffice, but I&#x27;d love recommendations on such scripts.<p>Thanks!

I recently discovered `git rebase --update-refs` [1], which makes it much easier to work locally with stacked branches.<p>Before I learned that, I used to work with `git rebase` followed by a series of manual invocations of `git checkout -B`.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;andrewlock.net&#x2F;working-with-stacked-branches-in-git-is-easier-with-update-refs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;andrewlock.net&#x2F;working-with-stacked-branches-in-git-...</a>
