Git Branch Stacking Utility

Panqake - Git Branch Stacking Utility

Panqake is a set of shell utilities for implementing the git-stacking workflow. It helps manage stacked branches, making it easier to work with multiple dependent pull requests.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/panqake.git
   

2. Add the panqake directory to your PATH or create symlinks to the panqake script in a directory that's already in your PATH.

3. Dependencies:

   • jq: For JSON processing
   • gh: GitHub CLI (optional, only needed for PR creation)

Usage

Create a new branch in the stack

panqake new feature-login

This creates a new branch based on your current branch and tracks the relationship.

View the branch stack

panqake list

Displays a tree view of your current branch stack.

Update branches after changes

panqake update

After making changes to a branch, this command rebases all child branches to incorporate your changes.

Delete a branch and relink the stack

panqake delete feature-old

Deletes a branch and relinks its children to its parent, maintaining the stack structure.

Create PRs for the branch stack

panqake pr

Creates pull requests for each branch in the stack, starting from the bottom.

Workflow Example

1. Start a new feature stack from main:

   git checkout main
   panqake new feature-base
   

2. Make your initial changes and commit.

3. Create a dependent branch for additional work:

   panqake new feature-ui
   

4. Make changes and commit in the feature-ui branch.

5. If you need to update the feature-base branch:

   git checkout feature-base
   # Make changes and commit
   panqake update
   

6. Create PRs for your stack:

   panqake pr
