Aviator Stacked PR Workflow FAQs

Question 1

Can I use git commit and av-cli together?

Accepted Answer

It is highly recommended to use av commit instead of git commit. Using av commit ensures that all child branches in the stack are automatically restacked and that the stack metadata remains synchronized.

Question 2

How do I initialize Aviator in a new repository?

Accepted Answer

The skill will detect if a repository is missing the av.db file and prompt you to run 'av init' to begin managing your stacked branches.

Question 3

Why should I use av-cli instead of standard Git commands?

Accepted Answer

While Git manages commits, av-cli understands the relationships between branches in a stack. It automates the complex rebasing required when a 'parent' branch is updated, which would otherwise require multiple manual Git operations.

Question 4

What is a stacked PR workflow?

Accepted Answer

A stacked PR workflow involves creating a chain of dependent branches where each branch builds on the previous one, allowing for smaller, more focused code reviews for large features.

Question 5

How does the skill handle interactive CLI prompts?

Accepted Answer

The skill is configured to use non-interactive flags like --push=yes and --prune=yes, ensuring that Claude can execute stack operations without getting stuck on TUI or interactive confirmation prompts.
