## What it is
git-branchless is a suite of Rust-based tools that enhances Git with a branchless, commit-graph-centric workflow. It provides commands like git undo, smartlog visualization, and git restack to make advanced Git operations safer and easier.

## Use cases
- undo any git operation safely
- visualize my commit graph
- rebase stacked commits without breakage
- manage a monorepo-scale git workflow
- repair broken commit graphs after rebases
- adopt a branchless development workflow

## When to choose
- you frequently rebase or stack commits and want automatic restacking
- you want a reliable undo for destructive git operations
- you work at monorepo scale with many in-flight changes

## When to avoid
- you prefer a simple branch-based workflow with minimal tooling
- you need a GUI-based git client
- your team standardizes on vanilla git commands only

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, version-control, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, rust
- tags: git, branchless-workflow, undo, smartlog, stacked-commits, monorepo, command-line, linux, macos
