    Any plans to support more then 30 repos in the future for AI code reviews? We have a lot of micro services that don't get update frequently but we still need PR reviews? I'll have to look for other options to support our org soon and I rather not.

    HI y'all! Is there a way/setting for the new PR page to have the editor not save on type? I like to chunk my changes/make edits, and similarly will often want to revert or heavily modify the AI generated description.

    Sorry I'm a little new to this. I'm playing around with Graphite and I'd quite like to turn some existing feature branches into a stack (if that's possible). We have a
    main
    branch, then we have a
    dev
    branch. I have a
    dev/feature-1
    branch which was made from the
    dev
    branch. I then have additional work in
    dev/feature-2
    and
    dev/feature-3
    . Essentially
    dev > dev/feature-1 > dev/feature-2 > dev/feature-3
    At the moment I have three PRs open, one to merge
    dev/feature-3
    into
    dev/feature-2
    another to merge
    dev/feature-2
    into
    dev-feature-1
    and then finally one to merge
    dev/feature-1
    into
    dev
    . Is it possible to create a stack from these three branches? I've tried a few things that I thought were correct but I'm a bit nervous. The existing PRs that are open don't matter. I'm happy to close them and let Graphite recreate them. I guess I'm mostly confused about the right course of action when the work has essentially already been done. But there is more work to do so stacking what we have already makes a lot of sense, I think.

    heya! i'm enjoying graphite so far after coming from my old company's fork of
    spr
    on top of bitbucket, but still pretty new. i'm not sure if these are settings i can't find or if they would be more suited for #C06C4TH0D27 or what, but wanted to ask anyway! 1. when looking at the description for a PR in graphite, it doesn't render shortlinks as links when created with the
    org_name/repo_name#num
    syntax that github supports (doc here) but it does work in github ◦ 1st screenshot is viewing the PR in github, 2nd screenshot is editing the PR description in github, 3rd screenshot is viewing the PR in graphite (not editing in graphite) 2. is it somehow possible to get graphite to only render the diff for 1 file at a time, similar to bitbucket (which lets you pick between 1 file at a time or all at once)? ◦ you can see the bitbucket PR thing here (this should be public): https://bitbucket.org/ayms1/test-repo/pull-requests/1/diff - you need to click the settings cog and choose "Load files" > "Individually" ◦ 4th screenshot is the bitbucket PR view, 5th screenshot is the bitbucket settings

    gt sync
    usually detects merged PRs and offers to delete the local branch. Just now it didn’t. How can I make it behave? I can of course delete it by hand, but…

    gt link
    ? There is the convenient feature of
    gt unlink
    but no
    gt link
    or did I miss that completely? The use case for me is that I regularly use
    sl
    to split a PR as its splitting functionality of a commit is much superior over `gt`'s still. Then it gets you new individual commits that I then track with with gt but I can't "re-link" a PR from the old one to a new PR. Is that correct that its not possible?

    Is one able to move to the previous review experience? I found that the current new one is really hard to use – especially when commenting or reviewing comments (and I am not the only one in the team) so would like to be able to use the old UI

    Can I check - is there any way to keep using the new PR page, but still use markdown formatting for comments? The new rich text editor seems incapable of some things that are really easy if you're comfortable with Markdown. I like the new PR page, but I'm finding myself having to jump back to the old PR page just to leave the comment I want. If that's no longer an option, I honestly think I'll give up on using Graphite for reviews altogether

    just wondering, does graphite use a different diff algorithm to github? if so, is there somehow a way to change it? i'm reviewing a PR atm (that's luckily small) and it threw me off because the diff is different depending on if it look in graphite or github

    GitHub's "Enable auto-merge" UI gives the option to both select the type of merge, and customize the commit message. By contrast, the Graphite UI is just a toggle with no options. I find myself going to GitHub to enable auto-merge there quite often. Is there a better way to do this in Graphite I'm missing, or something that could be enhanced?

    Hi guys, My project is facing a conflict issue. On the WebApp, Graphite shows a merge conflict, but when I use
    gt sync
    or
    gt get <name>
    on the CLI, there are no conflicts. CLI shows
    does not need to be restacked
    . I think it should show
    gt restack
    to fix the conflict What should I do to resolve this?

    How can we make sure that merges into main (trunk) don't overwrite other peoples merges if you haven't rebased before they merge? It seems we've run into this issue a few times and I thought Graphite was supposed to block that. What is the blocking mechanism and how can we dig in to see what went wrong in our case? Any docs/pointers that I can share with the team?

    If myself and another developer are working on the same branch and we make changes to same line...in a normal git workflow, I would do a pull before pushing. This would then show me exactly where there is a merge conflict. In Graphite i'm given the option to update my local, or the remote or to cancel and reconcile the difference manually....but I don't see where Graphite tells me what needs to be reconciled. Am I just missing a step?

    👋 I searched in Slack already but didn't found anything, so: I have multiple emails on my GitHub account. I want the primary one to be my private email and then I also have one work email. At work we are using graphite, I have the repo setup so it's using the work email for all comit messages but once I use the merge button in graphite the merge commit has my primary email from GitHub. On GitHub you can specify the email when clicking the merge button on a PR (and it sticks to what you choose then). Is there a way to specify this in the Graphite UI/settings? It's a bit of a blocker/deal breaker for me, like I don't want my private email in work context and I don't want my work email to be my primary email in my GitHub account thinking

    Hi there, I installed the Graphite app and gave it rw access to a private repository on GitHub. When I log into Graphite, it tells me that it doesn't have permissions to access my repository. The link to "see owners" leads to a 404 GitHub page. Is that because it is a private repository?

    Is there a way to have graphite ask for both commit message and description when creating commit+branch using
    gt create
    ? Right now, I believe I'd need to run `gt split`/
    gt modify
    afterwards to open the editor and do it but would be nice if this was an option during
    gt create
    itself.
