About:
Git-series is a tool designed to track changes to a patch series over time, making it easier to manage and review evolving code contributions. It helps maintainers and developers visualize the history and modifications of a series of patches, similar to tracking a branch but optimized for patch-based workflows. This is particularly useful for projects that rely on email-based patch submissions.

Key Features:

Tracks history of patch series modifications
Visualizes changes between versions of patches
Integrates with Git for seamless workflow
Helps in reviewing and managing patch evolution

Use Cases:

Managing Linux kernel patch submissions
Reviewing iterative changes to a pull request
Collaborating on patch-based code reviews

Alternatives:

git – Git tracks file history, while git-series specifically tracks changes to patch series over time
git-revise – git-revise rewrites history, git-series preserves series evolution
