Recently started using graphite.dev for managing stacked PRs.
The CLI part that helps manage these branches is pretty useful.
But there is the other 95% of the features:

While testing the patch, I’ve found that clang-19’s pac codegen has a lot of issues. The good news: BOLT caught and reported them!
