I tried to look through this earlier.

Am I right this is only available through the CLI?

If so it’s a no go for me and my team. Which is too bad because it looks quite useful.

An addition ability I would love, which is a MUCH bigger feature and I recognize that, would be multi-repo stacks.

My company doesn’t use a monorepo, and I like that. But as we’ve been breaking monoliths sometimes a logical feature touches multiple repos.

Being able to have them all in a stack, each building on the previous logically though in different repos, would be amazing.

Maybe it should have a different name. PR Trains? PR Chains? IDK. But being able to have multiple projects in one logical review is the one benefit of a monorepo I’d like, and if I could get it a different way I’d love it.

I was using my usual stacked PR approach without the CLI and it detected the stack. So I think the CLI just does the heavy lifting for you (although I prefer to stick to vanilla git rather than learning a new tool).
Oh good! I have had a chance to try it.
What do you gain by having multiple repos?
