Our team switched over to Graphite [1] 8 months ago now. Graphite involves a lot of "restacking" (i.e., rebasing for every commit/branch in a "stack").

No one on our team had used rebasing extensively before this, but it's hard to go back. Similar to the article, the benefits we see are:

- Fast iteration with `gt m` (`git commit --amend`) and `gt s` (`git push --force`) - Using `gt restack` (`git rebase` on each parent commit) helps make merge conflicts more transparent in what happened - Commit histories are much more legible

I highly recommend giving it a go.
