Initialize Graphite in a repository
Learn how to initialize the Graphite CLI in your git repository.
To use the Graphite CLI in a Git repository, we need to know your trunk branch (typically main or master). This helps us know where to merge pull requests, and how to synchronize changes from your upstream origin.
To initialize your repository, run gt init:
Terminal
cd ~/my-projectgt init
The CLI will prompt you to select a trunk branch for your development flow. Follow the prompt to choose a trunk branch, and press Enter to confirm.
This configuration is stored at .git/.graphite_repo_config inside each repository you initialize.
Note
If you forget to run gt init in your repository, don't worry! All gt commands check for initialization first, and will auto-prompt you to choose a trunk branch at the time of running any command.
