I've settled on a workflow that reverses the situation. I simply commit all my work to the main branch and cherry pick commits into temporary feature branches only when submitting PRs.
This way I only need to worry about maintaining a single consistent lineage of commits. I've been using this workflow for about a year now and find it to be much easier than juggling and rebasing feature branches.
In case anyone's interested, I made a tool that automates this workflow. The worfklow and tool are described here: https://github.com/bjvanderweij/dflock/ https://github.com/bjvanderweij/dflock/
- motoboi 10mo agoHow many people on the team?
- bvdw 10mo agoI work in a small team, about five people.
- JimDabell 10mo agoYou might like Jujutsu – you commit without being on any branch and then later you can decide where and how you put things onto branches.
- bvdw 10mo agoInteresting, I'll be sure to check it out. It sounds pretty similar to the tool I built which lets you edit a "plan" in a text editor to assign commits to feature branches - the plan is saved so it can be amended continuously.
