StackAbout

Shareable UI for viewing stacked PRs with incremental diffs. Built for jujutsu workflows on GitHub and Forgejo.

When you push a stack of jujutsu bookmarks, each PR shows all cumulative changes from the base branch. StackAbout shows only what's new in each PR by comparing against the previous bookmark in the stack.

Note — Please see the Contributions and Source section before contributing.

Building

Requires Rust 1.85+.

cargo build            # debug build
cargo build --release  # optimized release build

Cross-compile for Raspberry Pi:

cargo install cross
cross build --release --target aarch64-unknown-linux-musl

Running

cargo run

Starts on http://localhost:3333 by default.

Options

Flag	Env	Default	Description
-p, --port	STACKABOUT_PORT	3333	Listen port
--host	STACKABOUT_HOST	0.0.0.0	Bind address
--cache-ttl	STACKABOUT_CACHE_TTL	300	Cache TTL in seconds
--web-dir	STACKABOUT_WEB_DIR	web	Static files directory

Usage

1. Open the UI in a browser
2. Select forge (GitHub or Forgejo)
3. Enter repository as owner/repo
4. Enter PR numbers bottom-to-top: 1, 2, 3
5. Optionally provide a token (see below)

Share the resulting URL with others -- the token is never included in the link.

Token Scopes

A token is optional for viewing public repositories. To use review features (approve, request changes, comment, edit description), a token with write permissions is required.

GitHub

Create a Personal Access Token with the repo scope (or public_repo for public repos only).

Forgejo

Create a token in Settings > Applications with these scopes:

• repository:write -- PR reviews, inline comments, description editing
• issue:write -- PR-level discussion comments (Forgejo treats PR comments as issue comments internally)

Contributions and Source

The true source repository for StackAbout is located at git.kgroo.co/patman/StackAbout. GitHub is used for public access, distribution, and issues. We ask that you please visit and authenticate with your GitHub account and aim to open PRs there. (P.S. you will still get credit on your GH graph as long as you push with the same email)

The use of Generative AI for contributions is allowed, but please audit any code before opening a PR and ensure that any tests pass.
