gh-stack/cmd/root.go

Lines 25 to 26 in 514f5ab

# Or turn an existing set of branches into a stack
$ gh stack init --adopt branch1 branch2 branch3

but using it results in a deprecation warning

gh-stack/cmd/init.go

Lines 119 to 124 in 514f5ab

// --adopt is deprecated; print a notice and continue normally.
if opts.adopt {
cfg.Warningf("The --adopt flag is deprecated. Existing branches are now adopted automatically.")
cfg.Printf("You can simply run: %s",
cfg.ColorCyan("gh stack init <branch1> <branch2> ..."))
}

looks like you can literally just remove the --adopt flag from the CLI docs and it would work the same
