Phabricator is basically cancer.

I'm partial to Gerrit if you're looking for a git native solution with branch, draft, patch, review, iterate workflows with proper merge/rebase handling.

It is a bit different from "GitHub flow" but mostly a big improvement in an organisation context (vs FOSS.)

Media wiki has the best docs but it's a bit dense.

This page below has a decent graphic and lots of quick examples to show you how powerful it is to work with git instead of gimping it with a wrapper.

> Phabricator is basically cancer.

I think you need a lessen in sensible writing. You don't like Phabricator, fine. It's not cancer. Not "basically" either.


You don't like my casual use of the word cancer? Fine. Personally I feel like cancer was a relatively good approximation for the cancerous like changes you need to make to established industry workflows once you begin to use phabricator.

Would you have preferred I used the word infection? Virus? Aids?

Which one of those metaphors crosses the "sense writing" line for you?

Why does cancer?


Describing software as "cancer" is something I'd expect to see on 4chan or reddit, not HN. It's hyperbole and your explanation ("relatively good approximation for the cancerous like changes [to] workflows") shows as much.
