graphite

A workflow guide for using Graphite, a command-line tool that manages stacked Git branches and pull requests. It replaces some raw Git commands with Graphite commands that track branch relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating, editing, moving, restacking, and submitting stacked branches and pull requests with Graphite.
Why use it?
It helps keep dependent branches in sync when an earlier branch changes. It also avoids commands waiting for interactive input when an agent runs them.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

graphite scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to graphite — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Graphite CLI Command Reference

Prefer gt over git

Use gt commands instead of their git counterparts for commit and branch management. Raw git bypasses Graphite's stack metadata, leaving descendants un-restacked and the CLI's view of the stack out of sync.

Instead of Use
git checkout -b <name> gt create <name>
git commit -m "msg" gt modify -c -m "msg"
git commit --amend gt modify --amend
git commit -am "msg" gt modify -cam "msg"

Why: gt keeps stack metadata consistent and auto-restacks descendant branches when a parent changes.

Interactivity (for agents)

Several commands are interactive by default and will hang without a TTY: gt modify, gt move, gt split, gt restack, gt checkout (no arg), gt submit.

  • Always pass explicit args/flags: gt move --onto <branch>, gt modify -m "msg", gt checkout <branch>, gt submit --no-interactive.
  • Add --no-interactive (or --quiet) to skip prompts.
  • If a command genuinely needs input that can't be supplied via flags (e.g. complex rebase conflict resolution), stop and notify the user rather than guessing.

Rebase Conflicts

When gt restack, gt move, gt sync, etc. pause on a conflict:

  1. git status to find conflicted files.
  2. Resolve the <<<<<<< / ======= / >>>>>>> markers.
  3. Stage with gt add -A (or git add <file>).
  4. Run gt continuenever git rebase --continue. Graphite tracks its own rebase state; using raw git desyncs it.
  5. Verify the stack once continue completes (gt log, run tests).

To bail out: gt abort.

Global Flags

  • --help - Show help for a command
  • --cwd - Working directory for operations
  • --debug - Write debug output
  • --interactive / --no-interactive - Enable/disable prompts (default: enabled)
  • --verify / --no-verify - Enable/disable git hooks (default: enabled)
  • --quiet - Minimize output, implies --no-interactive

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
