Graphite Stacks

If you use Graphite to manage stacked pull requests, Skim can navigate the stack for you: jump between branches without leaving the review.

Requirements

Section titled “Requirements”

Install the Graphite CLI (gt) and initialize it in your repository as you normally would. Skim uses your existing Graphite stack metadata.

Section titled “Navigating a stack”
Key Action
S Open the Graphite stack picker
[s Navigate to the parent branch (toward trunk)
]s Navigate to the child branch (toward the tip)
  • S opens a picker listing the branches in the current stack, so you can jump straight to any one of them.
  • [s / ]s step one branch at a time: [s moves down toward the trunk, ]s moves up toward the tip of the stack.

As you move between branches, Skim re-renders the diff for the branch you land on, so reviewing a stack becomes a matter of stepping through it with ]s.

Next: editor integration.
