GitButler Stack Workflows

About

This skill empowers developers to master stacked branch workflows within the GitButler ecosystem. It provides comprehensive guidance on creating anchor-based branch dependencies, reorganizing existing work into logical stacks, and preparing sequential Pull Requests. By breaking down large features into smaller, reviewable chunks—such as separating a refactor from an API implementation—it streamlines the development cycle and improves code review quality. It is particularly useful for developers who need to manage sequential dependencies or organize exploratory code after it has been written.
