12/19/2023, 7:56 PMyeah, i think it needs to submit downstack branches as well 🤔

Copy code
# First get the branches downstack from you that your coworker is working on
gt get
# you should be restacked on top of those now
# finally, submit your branch on top
gt submitDavid Balatero

12/19/2023, 8:05 PMit is an invariant that you need to be based on the current version of the parent branch at submit time, so we require all downstack branches to be up to date. we are looking into adding a "pinned" state for branches you dont intend to contribute to, which might make this case better, but for now, using

12/19/2023, 9:25 PMokay makes sense. thanks for confirming this is the case. I have overwritten their changes in the past because I didn't realize this is the behavior since I assumed it would only modify branches that I owned unless I specify otherwise. (fwiw I come from mercurial so a lot of the assumptions are based on my old workflows there)
