Git-Branchless Workflow

Git-branchless enables stacked diffs development - working with multiple commits that build on each other, editing any commit in the stack, and managing PRs efficiently.

Core Concepts

Detached HEAD Workflow

In git-branchless, you work in detached HEAD mode. Main stays put while you stack commits above it.

# Always detach before building a stack
git checkout --detach

# Or use git record -d to auto-detach
git record -d -m "feat: first commit"
