Graphite Community

Hi all. I”m very now to graphite. I’m trying to use it for stacked flows. One little thing though, I do not like the github merge options for PR’s so I always do my own merges.
git checkout main
git fetch
git pull
git checkout &lt;feature branch&gt;
git rebase main
git push --force-witih-lease
git checkout main
git merge --ff-only &lt;feature branch&gt;
git push

that’s the “long form” usually this is easier as the feture branch is already up-to-date, etc.

Does graphite of gh have any issues with that flow?

hey ed, are you using any `gt` commands with this flow or is it mostly `git`


I’m using gt where possible, `gt sync`, `gt submit`, basicaly any `gt` command I can, short of those that invoke the “limited” options that Github offers for releasing a PR. I lament the lack of a ff merge, available on bitbucket for example. I can never figure out why Github just does not offer this.

your local ff-only landing flow is compatible with `gt`. just land stacked PRs bottom-up so each branch is rebased onto current main before the ff merge, then `gt sync` after you push main.
