git-spice

Introduction

git-spice is a tool for stacking Git branches. It lets you manage and navigate stacks of branches, conveniently modify and rebase them, and create GitHub Pull Requests from them.

See https://abhinav.github.io/git-spice/ for more details.

Usage looks roughly like this:

# Stack a branch on top of the current branch.
$ gs branch create feat1

# Stack aonther branch on top of feat1.
$ gs branch create feat2

# Submit pull requests for feat1 and feat2.
$ gs stack submit

# Pull latest changes from the remote repository
# and delete merged branches.
$ gs repo sync

# Restack branches on top of the latest changes.
$ gs stack restack

Or equivalently, using CLI shorthands:

$ gs bc feat1  # branch create feat1
$ gs bc feat2  # branch create feat2
$ gs ss        # stack submit
$ gs rs        # repo sync
$ gs sr        # stack restack

Features

• Create, edit, and navigate stacks of branches with ease.
• Create and update GitHub Pull Requests for the entire stack or parts of it with a single command.
• Keep using your existing workflow and adopt git-spice incrementally.
• Completely offline operation with no external dependencies until you push or pull from a remote repository.
• Easy-to-remember shorthands for most commands.
