Git Branch Stacking Utility

Panqake: Stack Git Branches Without the Headache

Panqake is a CLI tool that makes managing dependent pull requests significantly easier by automating the entire git-stacking workflow. Stop dealing with painful rebases and focus on your code instead.

What Problems Panqake Solves

• Reviews no longer block progress on dependent work
• Simplify complex workflows with a single command for common operations
• Eliminate manual rebasing when working with dependent branches
• Automate PR management for each branch in your stack

Quick Installation

uv tool install panqake

Dependencies:

• gh: GitHub CLI (only needed for PR creation)

Core Commands

Command	What it Does
panqake new feature-name	Create a new branch in your stack
panqake update	Update all child branches after parent changes
panqake pr	Create PRs for your entire branch stack
panqake merge	Merge a PR and update all dependents automatically

Real-World Workflow Example

Here's how to build a stack of dependent features:

# Start from main
git checkout main

# Create your base feature branch
pq new auth-backend
# Make changes, commit them
git add .
git commit -m "Implement authentication backend"

# Create a dependent branch for frontend work
pq new auth-frontend
# Make changes, commit them
git add .
git commit -m "Add login form UI"

# Need to fix something in the backend?
git checkout auth-backend
# Make your changes, commit them
git add .
git commit -m "Fix auth token validation"

# Update your entire stack with one command
pq update

# Create PRs for your entire stack
pq pr

# After approval, merge with a single command
pq merge
