Pull Request vs Trunk Based Development vs Stacked Diffs
(explained in 2 mins or less):
Stacked diffs split big code changes into smaller diffs.
And each diff builds on the one before it.
This approach:
• Simplifies reviews,
• Allow quick reverts,
• Reduces context switching,
• Maximizes the engineer's productivity.
Yet rebasing diffs can be difficult when an earlier diff changes.
So Graphite automates this by:
✓ Rebasing diffs,
✓ Tracking stacks,
✓ Hiding Git complexity.
But code reviews can still take time...
That's where the Graphite comes in:
It’s a unified AI reviewer that explains what changed, suggests fixes, and updates your pull requests in real time. Thus making code reviews faster.
Have you tried the stacked diffs workflow?
