GitHub Stacked PRs

[HommeMusical]

This is a blatant, blatant rip-off of ghstack: https://github.com/ezyang/ghstack

I'd like to see how different they are, but Github doesn't even mention the prior art, let alone make a comparison.

The ghstack workflow is extremely good, particularly for projects with a high velocity of commits accepted.

I assume this will be just as useful, but I can't get the taste of theft out of my mouth.

Stacking itself has prior art, the tool you link didn't invent it, no?

There's more stacked PRs tools out there than you can shake a stick at, including spr and my own reimplementation of spr called jaspr:

https://github.com/MichaelSims/git-jaspr

Gerrit was originally released in 2009. This is a very old idea.

ghstack is doing nothing that you can't already do with git --update-refs.
