Right? I was seriously considering migrating everything in our company from GitHub to GitLab. Now I'm seriously considering self hosting our git instead.

I was always confused at why people claimed trusted publishing would make any difference to this kind of supply chain attack.

I, however, do look forward to a time when we can prompt our own TV shows. That second season that ruined your favorite show? Fix it. The second season that never happened? Create it. Of course AI needs to get better still for that to be bearable for many of us, but I'm still excited at the idea!

An emoji rendered for me but not any of the outline stuff, just a bare emoji.

Sometimes I wonder what we did to deserve Valve and how long it can possibly last.

Personally I much prefer Deno as it's also doing a lot more work to unify the backend and frontend JS APIs.

These brain chemical rewards apparently do not work on me, my (still young) kids provide no such rejuvenation. Luckily I'm a deep sleeper so I have no sleep deprivation problems.

Simply the output of the code written. It initially worried me that it was harder to add context (can't select a single line of code in VS Code and automatically attach it, for example), but I've found that the Claude CLI's output is so far superior that it doesn't even need that VS Code context.

Already cancelled here! One less thing tied to GitHub.

I used to feel exactly like you do, but now I use the Claude CLI exclusively and am very pleased with the results.

This is exactly how I feel. Learn how to write CSS! Like you would do with any language!

It's very confusing that the "quick start" guide says the CLI is a requirement, when it's apparently not. This UI flow is exactly what I want! Thank you!

> so the diff in a PR shows just the relevant changes from the specific branch

That's exactly right.

> you can create stacked PRs purely via the UI

How?

I see from the docs https://github.github.com/gh-stack/introduction/overview:

> When a pull request is part of a stack

How does GitHub determine if a PR is part of a stack? Is it automatically detected so that I don't need to adjust my tooling that already creates chained PRs?

herpdyderp — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:51:54 +0000

Agreed. I do have tooling for a rebase + push flow, but it simply calls native git commands.

herpdyderp — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:11:33 +0000

I thrive on stacked PRs but this sure seems like a weird way to implement support for it. Just have each branch point to their parent in the chain, the end. Just native Git. I've been longing for better GitHub support for this but the CLI is not where I need that support: just the UI.
