About:
Topgit is a Git extension designed to manage a stack of patches on top of a Git branch. It allows developers to maintain dependent branches, automatically reordering and rebasing them as the underlying stack changes, which simplifies the management of complex patch series.

Key Features:

Manages dependent branch stacks
Automatic reordering and rebasing
Integrates with standard Git workflow
Simplifies patch series maintenance

Use Cases:

Maintaining a series of dependent feature branches
Managing patches for kernel or core system development
Organizing complex code reviews as a stack

Alternatives:

git-revise – git-revise focuses on rewriting history of existing commits, while Topgit manages a stack of dependent branches.
Stacked Git (StGit) – StGit is a similar patch stack manager, but Topgit is designed specifically for integration with Git branches as the underlying stack mechanism.
