## 项目历史与用法

git-series is a Git extension for recording the evolution of a patch series, including cover letters, rebases, interdiffs, formatted email output, and pull-request preparation.

### 项目历史

The project appeared in 2016 as a Rust-based answer to a long-standing problem in patch-review workflows: Git stores commits well, but a rebased patch series normally loses its review history outside of branch names, reflogs, or external patch queues. The README frames git-series around the path from an initial idea through repeated RFC and PATCH revisions, where maintainers need to see what changed between versions of the series.

Its design keeps the patch-series metadata in the same Git repository and relies on ordinary Git transport, so a series can be pushed and pulled alongside branches and tags. The tool predates Git's built-in range-diff command and its README explicitly compares its series-diff format with range-diff style output.

### 采用历史

Adoption is specialized rather than broad: the tool mainly fits email-driven review cultures, distribution packaging, backports, and teams that repeatedly rebase non-fast-forward patch queues. Its presence in Homebrew and Nix gives it package-manager reach beyond Cargo users, but its audience is narrower than general-purpose Git porcelain.

### 使用方式

Practitioners start a named series, set a base commit, edit ordinary Git commits, record semantic series checkpoints, maintain a cover letter, compare versions with series diffs, and format numbered patch sets for email review.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

git-series is notable because it packages a patch-queue workflow without leaving Git's object model. It sits between quilt-style patch stacks and normal rebasing branches, making it useful to people who care about source-package maintenance, long-lived review series, and reproducible patch submission history.

### 时间线

- 2016: First public code and v0.8 tags appeared in the GitHub repository.
- 2016: README documented series commits, cover letters, email formatting, and series diffs.
- 2024: Repository activity included updates after the original 2016 tag series.

### Related projects

- The README relates git-series to quilt, distribution patch packages, named Git branches, git format-patch, and Git's range-diff style of comparing rewritten commits.
