Graphite

Graphite is a stacked-diff workflow for git with an AI reviewer that comments on every pull request.

Overview

Graphite modernizes code review with stacked pull requests and AI. Its CLI lets engineers break large changes into small, dependent stacks that merge independently, while Graphite’s AI reviewer leaves instant, context-aware comments on every PR and learns from your team’s feedback over time. Review queues, merge trains, and analytics give managers visibility into review latency. Used heavily at scale-up engineering orgs, it turns code review from a bottleneck into a flow.

Stacked PRs change team dynamics: reviewers see small, focused diffs and approve quickly, while Graphite manages the merge order automatically. The AI reviewer adds a first-pass review within seconds of a PR opening, catching obvious issues before human reviewers arrive.

Key Features

• Stacked PR workflow with a fast git CLI
• AI code reviewer with instant PR comments
• Reviewer that learns from team feedback
• Merge trains and automated stacking
• Review queue and latency analytics
• Deep GitHub integration

The workflow benefits compound: small PRs mean faster reviews, faster merges, and less context switching. Graphite’s merge trains keep CI green across stacks, and the analytics help leads find and fix review bottlenecks.

Pricing

Graphite is free for small teams and open-source projects. Paid plans charge per active contributor with enterprise options.

Who Is It For

Engineering teams that merge frequently and want small, fast reviews instead of giant pull requests.
