For code review: At my previous company we used Phacility/Phabricator but unfortunately it's no longer maintained[1]. Both my previous and current companies have since switched to using Graphite[2], which has delivered a pretty compelling stacked PR and code review experience.

Oh my god, it finally happened! I've been waiting for someone to make something like this for ages. The best part is I can use this for my own work without forcing my team to. Thanks for sharing! So far, it seems pretty good.

Since you seem to be in the beta, you may want to let them know their Homebrew tap is pointing to the wrong GH org: https://github.com/withgraphite/homebrew-tap/blob/master/For...

Graphite is excellent!

Shameless plug but anyone interested in a code review tool on top of GitHub may also want to check out CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com). It's got a lot of the things that people from FAANG companies, especially Xooglers, miss about the excellent internal code review tools those companies have.

Phabricator is no more actively maintained but its author (Evan) is still doing some improvements and recently applied a security fix. The latest release https://secure.phabricator.com/w/changelog/2022.15/

There is also a (blessed) community fork at https://we.phorge.it/

There is also plz.review which more closely mirrors gerrit (ui flow, keyboard driven, etc). Plus I found the cli more pleasing to use than graphites. But glad there are finally options in this space!

How does it compare to using Gerrit? It doesn't come with a custom cli wrapper around git, but the code review experience is getting fairly close to critique these days. Self hosting, GitHub wrappers, and paid hosts are all available so there is a lot of flexibility.

ReviewBoard is free and very good.
