are we there yet?

Motivation

Let’s say a Flutter SDK fix or a feature has just been approved and merged into main. Unless you’re on the bleeding edge, you probably need to wait until it’s in stable or beta. But how do you check this quickly?

Usage

1. Find the PR you're interested in at github.com/flutter/flutter
2. Find the note that says something like:
   Merged via the queue into flutter:master with commit ???????
3. Copy the commit hash (such as 8eab409)
4. Enter it above and click check

You can send people to flutter.filiph.net/are/we/there/yet/8eab409 to check for themselves at any time.

Commits for PRs that just landed will just be in main. Commits that are now in general availability are going to be in main, beta and stable.

The only caveat is that commits can be reverted (a later commit can remove the changes of the one you're looking at) — this tool doesn't account for that.

Details

The underlying script for this has existed on my hard drive since 2018.

The idea is simple: you just check out the Flutter SDK repo and run something like git branch -r upstream/main --contains HASH. You can see it as a bash script here. The web tool you're seeing is just the logical next step, so that I can send the tool to others.

Ideas? Comments? Please reach out through the usual channels (see filiph.net).
