Graphite

Graphite is a modern code review platform built around stacked pull requests, designed to help engineering teams ship code faster and review it more effectively. Inspired by the developer workflows at companies like Meta, Graphite makes it easy to break large changes into a stack of smaller, dependent pull requests that can be reviewed and merged independently — a practice that dramatically speeds up review and keeps changes small and manageable, but which is painful to do with standard Git and GitHub tooling.

The core insight is that big pull requests are slow and hard to review, while small ones are fast and high-quality — but creating and managing chains of dependent small PRs by hand is tedious. Graphite's tooling, including its CLI and web app, makes working with stacked changes seamless: you create, update, reorder and merge stacks easily, and the platform keeps everything in sync as the stack evolves. This unlocks a faster, more incremental development flow where code moves through review quickly rather than piling up in giant, intimidating pull requests.

On top of the stacking workflow, Graphite provides a polished, fast code review experience and has added AI capabilities that help review code automatically — summarizing changes, catching issues and accelerating the review process. This combination of better workflow and AI assistance targets one of the biggest bottlenecks in software teams: getting code reviewed and merged promptly without sacrificing quality. Graphite is popular with fast-moving engineering teams that care about developer velocity and code quality, particularly those who want the elite stacked-PR workflow without building it themselves. For teams that find code review a drag on their shipping speed and want a faster, more modern way to review and merge code, Graphite offers a powerful and thoughtfully designed solution.
