alt Hacker News> Git has had some additions in the last few years that make this work natively – specifically the --update-refs flag[1] or the rebase.updateRefs config. Combined with `git commit --fixup`, rebase.autoStash, and rebase.autoSquash rebasing stacks becomes a breeze (as long as you work off from the tip of your stack). Add in git-absorb[2] and the heavy-lifting is taken care of.
...or you don't bother with all that and simply do:
- gh stack init
- gh stack push
- gh stack submit
Sure, that's possible. I can also use the GitHub app and use a Git abstraction where I don't have to understand Git at all.
The point is that I want to use Git, a tool and skill that is portable to other platforms.
