I built Git-chain because managing dependent branches and open PRs was becoming painful. This tool helps automate and track those relationships easily.
I made some usability improvements:
* Made chain storage more robust.
* Added a way to clear a chain
* Added tab completion for branch names
* Changed github workflow to show error instead of warning (more obvious, can be bypassed via github UI)
I built Git-chain to help with branch management in trunk-based development workflows.
When you want to keep changesets small and reviewable, but still build new work on top of unmerged changes, Git can get messy fast. Git-chain makes it easier to track and manage these dependent branches cleanly.
Would love feedback — especially from teams doing trunk-based development!
