Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Provides a similar interface to Git (and can interface with Git repos and GitHub pull requests), but uses a stack concept rather than local branches. First-class undo commands. Built-in web UI for reviewing stacks on top of GitHub PRs. Designed for very large monorepos. Doesn’t require everyone to migrate.

Tradeoffs

Is not “distributed” like Git - has more of a client/server model.
