How to configure PrStack for your repository
Configuration
PrStack can be configured using a .prstack/config.edn file in your repository root.
Configuration File
Create a .prstack/config.edn file in your repository:
Prop
Type
See the feature base command for more information about :feature-base-branches.
Configuring the Diff Viewer
The TUI allows you to view diffs between changes by pressing d on a selected change. By default, this uses your $EDITOR environment variable with a Neovim-specific command. You can customize this to use any diff viewer of your choice.
Configuration
The configuration file location is ~/.config/prstack/config.edn (note: this is in your home directory, not the repository).
Add a :diffview-cmd key with a template string that includes $from-sha and $to-sha placeholders:
{:diffview-cmd "your-command $from-sha $to-sha"}The placeholders will be replaced with the actual commit SHAs when you trigger the diff viewer.
Examples
Neovim with DiffviewOpen (requires diffview.nvim):
{:diffview-cmd "nvim -c 'DiffviewOpen $from-sha..$to-sha'"}Neovim with Difftastic (requires difftastic.nvim):
{:diffview-cmd "nvim -c 'Difft $from-sha..$to-sha'"}Git's built-in difftool:
{:diffview-cmd "git difftool $from-sha..$to-sha"}VS Code:
{:diffview-cmd "code --diff $from-sha $to-sha"}Difftastic CLI (requires difftastic):
{:diffview-cmd "git diff $from-sha..$to-sha | difft --display side-by-side"}GitHub CLI (opens diff in browser):
{:diffview-cmd "gh browse -- commit/$to-sha"}Delta (requires delta):
{:diffview-cmd "git diff $from-sha..$to-sha | delta"}Lazygit:
{:diffview-cmd "lazygit -f $from-sha..$to-sha"}Default Behavior
If no configuration is provided, PRStack defaults to $EDITOR -c "Difft $from-sha..$to-sha", which assumes a Neovim setup with the Difft command available.
Example Configuration
