Stacked Git – manage commits as a stack of patches

Re:Stacked Git – manage commits as a stack of patches by jpgrayson on Thursday May 27, 2021 @02:13PM (#27306230)

I originally used mercurial and its queues (mq) extension and then found StGit when switching to an organization using git for version control. Thus I got used to the patch-stack model prior to really being exposed to git's interactive rebase.

Some days I wonder if an interactive rebase oriented workflow would be good enough for me, but manipulating the patch-stack with StGit has become so second-nature that even the small amount of extra friction of `git rebase -i` sends me right back to StGit.

Funny to hear that you learned patch queues with mq. mq was my favorite part of mercurial and it's how I learned to use patch queues too.

Thank you for maintaining StGit — I really enjoy it as a tool! topgit is fine, but quite heavy. I don't use stg much at work with squash merge workflows, but I love it for personal projects or when I need to work on a series of commits with intricate change sequencing.
