Graphite changelog [09-17-2025]

It's been awhile since we've posted a changelog, and we wanted to catch Graphite users up to speed. Here's what we shipped in August:

💬 Ship faster with Graphite Chat

Reviewing your PRs just got easier. Graphite Chat is now built into your PR page. With Chat, you can get explanations on code changes, suggested fixes, and apply updates to your PRs with context from your full repo and codebase history.

• Fewer context switches: Ask Graphite to explain code, suggest fixes, resolve CI issues, and update PRs, all from the PR page. 

• Edit without your IDE: With the new Graphite Editor, preview AI-suggested changes and apply them instantly, so you can keep reviews moving forward.

• Instant access: Open any PR and click Chat in the right-hand sidebar.

💡 Chat is free with unlimited responses while in beta.

⚡ PR page loads 2x faster

We boosted PR page performance so you can stay unblocked. Now PR pages load 2x faster, cutting wait times in half, so you can review code without interruptions to your flow.

💻 CLI updates

As of today, we’re excited to announce some updates to our CLI tool. The Graphite CLI got a mix of powerful new features and important fixes, including:

New features

• Added frozen branches: gt freeze and gt unfreeze commands to prevent modifications to frozen branches. 

• New branches from gt get are now frozen by default.

• Added warnings when branches become empty after restacking operations.

• Added a cap to debug log size.

• Improved the gt feedback experience and reliability.
  

Fixes & improvements

• Fixed issue where gt undo could remove unstaged or untracked changes.

• Fixed issue where gt undo sometimes failed after gt continue.

• Fixed bug where org prefixes were duplicated for team reviewers in PRs.

• Fixed branch sync to correctly detect trunk status when upstream is missing.

• Fixed issue where gt sync would hang when branches were too far behind trunk.

• Automatically set -no-interactive mode when stdin/stdout are not TTYs.

👉 Together, these updates help you catch more bugs, review PRs faster, and manage branches more reliably, so you can ship cleaner code with less manual effort.
