✋ New GitHub app permissions A heads up: we requested new permissions for the Graphite app this morning! As a result, if you’re an admin for an org with the Graphite app installed, you may have received an email. What permissions changed? We now subscribe to a few new webhook events: • Merge queue entry added • Branch protection configuration changes • Repository ruleset changes These help us reflect changes you make to your branch protection rules and repository rulesets on GitHub in the Graphite UI and show whether your PR is merging via the GitHub merge queue. In addition, if there are outstanding Graphite app permissions requests for your org, GitHub includes those in this latest permissions request as well. As a result, you may also see the follow permissions requested from our previous update in December: • Deployments (read-only): to support rendering deployments in our PR page UI • Custom properties (read-only): to incorporate any GitHub repository rulesets in our calculation of whether a PR is ready to merge • Custom repository roles (read-only): to incorporate custom repository roles in our calculation of whether a PR is ready to merge • Workflows (read and write): to allow users to merge workflow file changes from Graphite What do I need to do? If you would like any of the functionality above, please accept the new set of permissions. Otherwise, feel free to ignore the permissions request; Graphite will continue functioning normally. ------ If you have any questions about any of the above, please don’t hesitate to ask!

🪵 We’ve added multitrunk support in the CLI! 🌲 🌴 🌳 🎄 You can now work on multiple trunks simultaneously without having to re-initialize Graphite to change trunks! Join the #C0604H4AM97 channel to get started using it now (more details here).

The State of Code Review 2024 is live! gopher party party parrot The findings are drawn from an analysis of ~6 million PRs that were merged on GitHub in the last year, and we look at things like merge speed, CI run time, and popularity of languages across different orgs. Merrill is hosting a webinar at 2pm ET today to talk about the findings and we'd love to see you there!!

🫵 You're invited! Come hang out with us in NYC Wednesday, August 21 at the gorgeous Hidden Lane Bar for a happy hour on us!

Spots are limited so grab your reservation then grab a mojito! 🍹 https://lu.ma/o9nrn6cb

Join us for an exciting conversation between Graphite CEO and co-founder Merrill Lutsky and Motion Head of Engineering Chander Ramesh as we talk engineering leadership, DevTools and migrating between GitHub and GitLab. Happening live now! https://streamyard.com/watch/JCiEBXvZT663

A lot of conversation today centers around using AI to write code. But what about reviewing code? AI can provide near-instantaneous feedback, allowing authors to address issues in real time without waiting for a human reviewer to become available. Check out our latest blog post to learn more.

🚀 Today is the day! 🚀 We are proud to announce Graphite Reviewer is officially live! Your high-signal AI code review companion, Graphite Reviewer delivers immediate, actionable feedback on your PRs.

Happy holidays (code freeze time) from all your friends at Graphite! 🎄 https://graphite.dev/blog/code-freeze

Graphite's #YearInCode2024 is launching next week. See how you stack up against other engineers on our global leaderboard & reflect on your stats from the year including: • Number of commits • Number of pull requests • Number of reviews • Top coding languages and much more.

<!here> Graphite's Year in code 2024 is live! ✦ Look back on your 2024 coding journey with a personalized highlight reel and stats page. ✦ Visualize your contributions and see how you stack up against other devs around the world. Thank you all so much for an amazing year; Graphite wouldn't be where it is today without our community. Stay tuned for big things to come in 2025. 💜

<!here> wanted to drop in to personally apologize for the outages we’ve had this week - we know this isn’t up to the standard you expect from a core piece of developer tooling. We’ll follow up to share a full post-mortem shortly once we’ve had a chance to debrief. I’ve directed our team to focus entirely on stability for the next 2 weeks, and we’ll keep you updated as we ship improvements. We know we let you down this week, and we’re fully committed to building back trust in Graphite’s reliability in the coming months. 🙏

Hey folks! Wanted to share our postmortem for last week’s instability, which details what happened, how we addressed it in the short term, and what we’re doing to harden our systems and processes in order to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. We take stability very seriously at Graphite and understand that you have high expectations for tools that are central to your developer workflow. As part of our commitment to you, we’d like to be fully transparent about the mistakes that led to the incident and our learnings from the investigation and postmortem process. Our team has been fully focused on stability for the past week+ and we’ve already taken significant steps to improve our incident prevention, readiness, and response. That said, reliability will remain as one of our core focus areas in the coming weeks and months and I’m happy to chat more about what we’re doing and address any additional concerns that your team may have here. https://withgraphite.notion.site/External-Outage-on-Graphite-web-dashboard-and-CLI-1a12fae86070805bbad6f64c3a4de85f

Hey everyone! We are looking to let a few more teams off the Diamond (AI reviewer) custom rules waitlist. DM if you're interested 💎

Hey <!channel>, wanted to share two pieces of exciting news: First off, Graphite has just raised a $52 million Series B! This means that we'll be growing the team, have a lot more resources at our disposal, and will be accelerating our trajectory on building the best developer platform on the market. As part of this effort, and fueled by our new round of funding, we're also excited to announce that our AI reviewer is now a standalone product: Diamond. We're also introducing powerful new features to understand and augment your team’s code review process, including: • Customizable rules: Enforce your team’s unique coding patterns by importing your own style guide. • Comment settings: Enhance clarity by filtering out unwanted comments, ensuring a focused, high signal-low noise review experience. • Codebase awareness: Improve comment quality with context gathered directly from your codebase. • Review insights: Access analytics on comment metrics, including issue categories. • Suggested fixes: Accept code improvements with a single click. • Universal GitHub integration: Works in any repository, whether or not you have a Graphite plan. To learn more about both the raise, and the launch you can read the full blog post by Merrill. Thanks for stacking with us! We couldn't have hit these incredible milestones without our amazing users.

One of our most-asked-for features, Graphite now supports a direct integration with Linear: ✦ Unified issue tracking: See all associated Linear issues directly in the PR sidebar within Graphite. ✦ Efficient bug reporting: Link bugs directly to the proper PR. ✦ Seamless issue management: Create or link existing Linear issues from the PR page.
