Reviewers consistently praise Graphite for making stacked PRs practical on GitHub, helping teams break work into smaller changes, keep multiple branches organized, and move reviews along with less waiting and rebasing pain. Users also call out the polished UI, ergonomic CLI, easy GitHub setup, and useful tools like auto-restacking and keyboard shortcuts. A few note a learning curve, and one reviewer dislikes the diff view compared with GitHub. Makers of Bench for Claude Code and Pop echo the value of stacked reviews and automated code review.

Our engineering team leans on Graphite Reviewer for pull request reviews. It doesn’t replace a human reviewer, but will catch a few things a week that our human reviewers miss. And the Graphite reviewer usually runs before a human reviewer gets to the pull request. Which is nice for saving expensive, human time. On an engineering team, for every hour of code writing, there are 10 hours of code fixing and maintenance. Graphite is pretty key for us to reducing that fixing and maintenance time. Another nifty thing about Graphite is pull request stacking. Our engineering team spans 14 timezones at Product Hunt. It’s not unusual for someone to crank out a bunch of work while the rest of the team is asleep. Pull request stacking is quite helpful for smoothing out that workflow.

I don't think I've ever posted on a ProductHunt launch except ones I've been involved in or know the makers personally, but I happily make an exception for Graphite. I run `gt rs && gt sr && gt ss` every time I see a new merge to main, automatically rebasing all my work on top of any other changes, so I never have any big conflicts to deal with, and can continue to ship smaller PRs. Everyone who uses it where I work loves it, including some ex-Facebook folks who miss their stacked diffs from Phabricator. It's not an exaggeration to say that using Graphite makes our codebase better, PRs easier and saves me tonnes of time. Congratulations to the team and I wish you every success!

Using Graphite totally changed how we did collaboration at @symops. Stacked diffs and all the associated tooling was always the one thing I missed from big tech. No more!! My favorite part is I don't even need my whole team to be using it to see the benefit (tho that of course helps).

I started using Graphite in 2021 and I've never gone back! I purely use Graphite for all my branch management and PR needs. The auto-restacking of your branches is actually so clutch. I used to have to manually rebase my branches when I would create (what my previous team called "pancakes", which I guess are a form of stacks 🤔) and it was always a painful experience. Now I just do a `gt sync --restack` and everything works magically. I'll never go back to the Dark Ages. 10/10 would recommend! 🚀

I can't say enough positive things about Graphite. It keeps me and my team unblocked by decoupling work from reviews, which means our reviews are more thorough, and we're not bugging each other for reviews constantly, breaking flow. Their community Slack is active and the team is super responsive to feedback. Honestly, they're doing everything right. Graphite has saved me literal days of time over the last year, and I'm so happy it's finally out of beta for the world to see.

I've been using this for the past year and it's taken so much pain out of fast trunk-based development. No longer do I have to make the choice between shipping massive PRs or struggling with small ones, now I can write it once, get it simply chunked up and the many small changes are easier to review, then GT rebases and merges automatically. Slightly steep learning curve is SO worth it, loads of us on the team are big advocates!

Usually very hesitant to use 3rdparty cli tooling and was skeptical as I used to just manually rebase branches with vanilla git. But graphite has been a game changer!!! My git workflow is now a matter of seconds compared to many minutes!
