Package: rockset-stacky
stackyis a homebrewed tool to manage stacks of PRs. This allows developers to easily manage many smaller, more targeted PRs that depend on each other.InstallationYou now have the choice on how to do that, we build pre-packaged version of stacky on new releases, they can be found on thereleasespage and we also publish a package inpypi.Pre-packagedUsingbazelwe provide pre-packaged version, they are self contained and don't require the installation of external modules. Just drop them in a directory that is part of the$PATHenvironment variable make it executable and you are good to go.There is also axarversion it should be faster to run but requires to havexarexec_fuseinstalled.Pippip3 install rockset-stackyManualstackyrequires the following python3 packages installed on the hostasciitreeansicolorssimple-term-menupip3 install asciitree ansicolors simple-term-menuAfter whichstackycan be directly run with./src/stacky/stacky.py. We would recommend symlinkingstacky.pyinto your path so you can use it anywhereAccessing GithubStacky doesn't use any git or Github APIs. It expectsgitandghcli commands to work and be properly configured. For instructions on installing the github clighplease read theirdocumentation.Usagestackystores all information locally, within your git repository
Syntax is as follows:stacky info: show all stacks , add-prif you want to see GitHub PR numbers (slows things down a bit)stacky branch: per branch commands (shortcut:stacky b)stacky branch up(stacky b u): move down the stack (towardsmaster)stacky branch down(stacky b d): move down the stack (towardsmaster)stacky branch new <name>: create a new branch on top of the current onestacky commit [-m <message>] [--amend] [--allow-empty]: wrapper aroundgit committhat syncs everything upstackstacky amend: will amend currently tracked changes to top commitBased on the first argument (stackvsupstackvsdownstack), the following commands operate on the entire current stack, everything upstack from the current PR (inclusive), or everything downstack from the current PR:stacky stack info [--pr]stacky stack sync: sync (rebase) branches in the stack on top of their parentsstacky stack push [--no-pr]: push to origin, optionally not creating PRs if they don’t existstacky upstack onto <target>: restack the current branch (and everything upstack from it) on top of another branch (likegt us onto), useful if you’ve made a separate PR that you want to include in your stackstacky continue: continue an interrupted stacky sync command (because of conflicts)stacky update: will pull changes from github and update master, and deletes branches that have been merged into masterThe indicators (*,~,!) mean:*— this is the current branch~— the branch is not in sync with the remote branch (you should push)!— the branch is not in sync with its parent in the stack (you should runstacky stack sync, which will do some rebases)$ stacky --help

- Will sync branch change_part_2 on top of change_part_1TuningThe behavior ofstackyallow some tuning. You can tune it by creating a.stackyconfigthe file has to be either at the top of your repository (ie. next to the.gitfolder) or in the$HOMEfolder.If both files exists the one in the home folder takes precedence.
The format of that file is following theiniformat and has the same structure as the.gitconfigfile.In the file you have sections and each sections define some parameters.We currently have the following sections:UIList of parameters for each sections:UIskip_confirm, boolean with a default value ofFalse, set it toTrueto skip confirmation before doing things like reparenting or removing merged branches.change_to_main: boolean with a default value ofFalse, by defaultstackywill stop doing action is you are not in a valid stack (ie. a branch that was created or adopted by stacky), when set toTruestackywill first change tomainormasterwhenthe current branch is not a valid stack.change_to_adopted: boolean with a default value ofFalse, when set toTruestackywill change the current branch to the adopted one.share_ssh_session: boolean with a default value ofFalse, when set toTruestackywill create a sharedsshsession to thegithub.comserver. This is useful when you are pushing a stack of diff and you have some kind of 2FA on your ssh key like the ed25519-sk.LicenseMIT License
