SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the complexity of managing dependent pull requests and branch bookkeeping, preventing the common pitfalls of manual rebasing and PR retargeting.

Core Features & Use Cases

Stacked PR Management: Automates the creation, submission, and synchronization of dependent branch chains (stacks).
Non-Interactive Execution: Safely handles CLI operations in agent environments by managing flags and avoiding TTY prompts.
Use Case: When refactoring a large codebase, use this skill to split your work into a sequence of small, reviewable PRs that build on each other, ensuring a clean and linear history.

Quick Start

Use the using-git-spice skill to create a new stacked branch named feature-a with the commit message feat: add feature a.

FAQPage Schema

How do I manage stacked git branches and dependent pull requests?▼

You can manage stacked git branches by automating the creation, submission, and synchronization of dependent branch chains using the git-spice CLI. This approach replaces manual rebasing and PR retargeting with automated branch stacking workflows.

What is the best way to split a large codebase refactoring into reviewable pull requests?▼

The best way to split large refactoring is creating a sequence of small, dependent pull requests that build on each other. This ensures a clean, linear history and an efficient multi-stage code review process without overwhelming reviewers.

Can I automate git branch rebasing in a non-interactive agent environment?▼

Yes, you can automate branch rebasing in agent environments by safely handling CLI operations and managing flags to avoid TTY prompts. This non-interactive execution allows automated rebasing and PR submission without manual input.

How does automated branch stacking prevent manual PR retargeting?▼

Automated branch stacking prevents manual PR retargeting by synchronizing dependent branch chains automatically. When a base branch updates, the git-spice CLI handles rebasing and retargeting the stack, preventing common manual branch bookkeeping pitfalls.

When do I need to use stacked pull requests for my development workflow?▼

You need stacked pull requests when working on complex development workflows that require splitting work into a sequence of small, reviewable PRs. This is essential for maintaining linear history and enabling efficient multi-stage code reviews.

Does git-spice support automated rebase and non-interactive PR submission?▼

Yes, git-spice supports automated rebasing and non-interactive PR submission. It applies to complex workflows requiring branch stacking and handles CLI operations safely in agent environments by avoiding interactive TTY prompts.
