What problem does it solve?

Managing large features with sequential dependencies often results in monolithic pull requests that are difficult to review and merge. This Skill helps break down complex work into smaller, dependent, and easily reviewable chunks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Anchor-Based Stacking: Create dependent virtual branches where each branch builds logically on its parent.
  • Post-Hoc Organization: Reorganize independent branches into a structured stack after exploratory coding.
  • PR Preparation: Streamline the process of creating sequential pull requests for stacked branches, ensuring a clear review flow.
  • Use Case: Break down a major refactoring effort into a stack: first, extract utilities; then, update consumers; finally, clean up deprecated code. Each step becomes a small, reviewable PR.

Quick Start

Create a new feature branch 'auth-oauth' that depends on 'auth-core' using GitButler's stacked branch model.
