Workflow Overview

Using the GitButler CLI is meant to make a specific common workflow very simple, which is roughly:

• Create a branch
• Do work on that branch
• Commit to that branch
• Optionally, create another branch if you find unrelated work you need to do
• Work on and commit to that branch
• Submit a branch for review
• Create a stacked branch if needed to continue on dependent work
• Update your base if work has been integrated to remove merged work
• Rinse and repeat

Additionally, GitButler is very good at editing commits (amending fixup work, squashing, rewording messages, etc), it keeps a simple log of what you've done in case you need to go back in time, it makes collaborating on a branch with others easy, it has great GitHub/Lab integration and more.

Let's walk through some of the things it can do and what a typical day using the GitButler CLI might look like.
