Does jj effectively support stacked diffs on github? I've been paying through the nose for Graphite lately because it does, and the feeling I get is I'm just paying for their nice cli tool. `gt create` and `gt sync` is all I need. I don't really fully agree that their interface is entirely necessary or worth the $3500 per year it costs right now for my team.

GitHub needs to redesign PRs to properly support stacking them. It isn’t a client problem, but jj does make rebasing multiple branches correctly trivial, so if GitHub supported this workflow in a non-pretend fashion, it’d work.

If rebasing correctly is enough to support your use case, then the answer is ‘it’ll work’.

Kind of. You can do most of it by hand, and there are some community made tools that improve the experience and basically give you graphite lite

jj is great, but it doesn't quite fill the void of Graphite.

No, sadly, that's more of a Github limitation.
