Seems interesting! I've been very unhappy with Github workflow and UI for PRs. It's insane that each time you rebase a PR, you lose all your existing comments on that PR (i.e. they are no longer attached to lines in the UI). Does anyone know if you need Graphite to see a PR once it's been merged in the Github repo? I'm curious about how locked you in when you start using Graphite.

Hey @juliennakache UX designer at Graphite here,

All PRs will be shown with the proper draft/open/closed/merged states on GitHub and on Graphite, we do a lot of work to make sure that the real-time status is synced between the two so that you can adopt Graphite without disrupting your team's existing workflow.

Would love to know other pain-points you have around GitHub so that we could make Graphite even better for you and your team

Graphite and stacked diffs are awesome! I really miss Phabricator from my time at Uber, and I've been sad ever since that nobody had built a superior developer experience based on the same concepts.

Thank you! Yes, we've tried really hard to take the best parts of Phabricator and incorporate it into the product :)

I've been using this for a few months now, and it's been an absolute joy to use. One thing that's been a bit annoying: my org enforces signed commits, and when you merge a stack, they sometimes rebase commits internally and lose the code signing, so you end up with an error to merge the rest of the stack. Aside from that, working with stacks has been great!

Hey @njaremko,

Thank you for using Graphite and your support. This is something we're aware of and current thinking around.

Question, if we were to support this by signing commits: Would you want the commit to be signed by the Graphite GitHub App? Or would you prefer for it to be signed by Graphite on behalf of you? Or some other option that we haven't considered?
