v0.3.0

Pile v0.3.0

What's New

• pile diff — Show files changed in current branch vs its parent. Supports JSON output for agent workflows. Alias: pile d.
• Performance optimizations — Submit and sync are significantly faster:
  • PR operations no longer fetch reviews/checks unnecessarily (saves ~2 API calls per PR)
  • All branches pushed in a single git push instead of sequentially
  • PR lookups and branch status checks run in parallel
• Draft PRs by default — pile submit now creates PRs as drafts. Pass --no-draft to create ready PRs.
• Scoped restack during sync — pile sync only restacks the current branch's stack, not all tracked branches.

Install / Upgrade

npm install -g pile-cli

v0.2.0

Pile v0.2.0

What's New

• pile checkout <branch> — Non-interactive branch switching (also works with pile checkout main to return to trunk)
• pile delete — Delete current branch, close its PR, and switch to parent
• Auto-push trunk — pile submit --stack automatically pushes trunk on first submit
• README on npm — Package now includes full documentation

Bug Fixes

• pile add <file> now resolves paths correctly from any directory
• pile merge --force auto-marks draft PRs as ready before merging
• pile status and pile close find PRs correctly after branch rename
• pile submit uses stored PR numbers to avoid creating duplicates after pile move
• Interactive commands (checkout, branches, create) show helpful errors instead of crashing without a TTY
• pile init accepts uppercase "Y" in confirmation prompts
• pile init correctly detects subdirectories of other repos
• Merge cleanup falls back to trunk when retargeting child PRs fails
• .pile/ added to .gitignore during init

Install

npm install -g pile-cli
