I miss Phabricator from my time at Meta so much, I made this to achieve a Phabricator-like stacked-commit experience via the git cli: https://pypi.org/project/stacksmith/

This looks really interesting. I've been using a similar tool called spr https://github.com/spacedentist/spr for the last six or so months at work. I really like the stacked diff/PR workflow. But spr has a lot of rough edges and im on the lookout for a better alternative.

Do you happen to know how your tool compares to spr? How production-ready is it?

I had checked out SPR, but found the workflow based around reordering history via interactive rebase unintuitive & clunky. That was the motivation behind building this on my own.

I have been using this for a few months now, and it has served me well! I haven't spent much (any) time marketing it, so haven't really had any feedback from other users yet. Feel free to check it out & lmk if you have any suggestions. It's also open source, so feed free to open issue/PR on Github
