Git-branchless

High-velocity, monorepo-scale workflow for Git

git-branchless is a suite of tools which enhances Git in several ways It makes Git easier to use, both for novices and for power users. Examples

• git undo a general-purpose undo command.
• The smartlog a convenient visualization tool.
• git restack to repair broken commit graphs.
• Speculative merges to avoid being caught off-guard by merge conflicts.

It adds more flexibility for power users. Examples

• Patch-stack workflows strong support for “patch-stack” workflows as used by the Linux and Git projects, as well as at many large tech companies. This is how Git was “meant” to be used.
• Prototyping and experimenting workflows strong support for prototyping and experimental work via “divergent” development.
• git sync to rebase all local commit stacks and branches without having to check them out first.
• git move The ability to move subtrees rather than “sticks” while cleaning up old branches, not touching the working copy, etc.
• Anonymous branching reduces the overhead of branching for experimental work.
• In-memory operations to modify the commit graph without having to check out the commits in question.
• git next/prev to quickly jump between commits and branches in a commit stack.
• git co -i/--interactive to interactively select a commit to check out.
