Interesting - what do you mean? Like the solution to a bug?

Thanks for the reply. What do you think turns people off documentation? I hear about doc rot etc. Sounds like you've really seen the light. One of the issues I've had with docs is that they are quite non-visual, I tend to diagram quite a lot to get a sense of how things hang together.

Yeah nice! I have a gridded moleskine for the same purpose. Trouble is I tend to just write notes as I go and then not really refer back to them. Effectively an ephemeral scratch pad.

That's really interesting. So just so I understand the wrapper command automated those steps you've outlined? What were the convenience commands?

This is a really interesting set of insights. I definitely see the theoretical benefits of stacking but as you indicate it feels like it requires a pretty good grip of git to manage. Do you have tooling to support with this in your team? To your last point, so let's say you've got 5 stacked PRs chained off of each other, you then need to merge master into each of them individually?

Yeah merge hell is what sorta keeps me shy of doing the stacked approach. Is this something you've encountered?

Nice that sounds like a really neat workflow. I haven't used stacked PRs before, I feel like everywhere I've worked has generally been: work on a feature, PR/MR the branch and try to keep it small. Any idea what it isn't more common?

Yeah I did a bit of a deep dive on Pullpo - it looks great, small passionate team! I was curious if there is anything that you don't like about using it as part of your workflow? Like I can see your colleagues prefer a specifically different type of workflow - why did your team adopt it?

Wow, how have you found that improves things for your team?

Oh interesting, hadn't heard about this. Do you like it? Any parts that aren't great? I'm definitely open to new tools!

That's awesome! Can I ask what sort of feedback you were getting that lead to CodeApprove. I agree that sitting with the incumbents shouldn't be our default setting, curious about which parts you are trying to improve?

Yep! It does this. You'll be prompted with a popup to confirm if you want to switch branches. If you don't confirm it won't do anything.
