A utility for making it easier to work with dependent branches.
On GitHub you operate on a multiple branches model, and if you want to provide your colleagues with easy-to-digest, bite-sized PRs to review, you make your PR branches dependent on each other, resulting in a stack of PRs. But what happens when you get feedback on a PR at the bottom of your stack, and need to percolate an update to all the dependent branches?
for-each-stacked encourages a workflow to make this easier to manage. By following a simple naming scheme for your branches, for-each-stacked can manage running operations across the stack of branches:
> git checkout -b feature/p1-foo # build PR 1 of your feature
> git push && hub pull-request # make a PR!
> git checkout -b feature/p2-blah # build PR 2 of your feature
> git push && hub pull-request -b feature/p1-foo # make PR #2
> git checkout -b feature/p3-wow # build PR 3 of your feature
> git push && hub pull-request -b feature/p2-blah # make PR #3
# you get some feedback on PR 1
> git checkout feature/p1-foo
# address feedback, make some commits
> git push
# *for-each-stacked* lets you propagate the update to all your branches in order!
> for-each-stacked feature/p2 'git merge %P && git push'
