Stacked pull requests 🥞

Break large code changes into a chain of smaller, dependent pull requests you can review and merge independently.

Create a stack of dependent pull requests using the gh stack extension in GitHub CLI or directly on GitHub.

Restructure stacked pull requests, rebase their branches, and make changes to lower layers using GitHub CLI.

Merge a stack from the bottom up, individually, or in contiguous groups.

Understand how GitHub Actions workflows run for a stack, access stack metadata in your workflows, and reduce redundant CI usage.

Install the gh stack extension in GitHub CLI and create your first set of stacked pull requests.

Address review feedback on a pull request anywhere in a stack and cascade your changes through the rest of the stack.

Plan and roll out stacked pull requests to your organization, so your teams can ship large changes as small, reviewable layers without compromising your existing rules and checks.

Create a stack of small, dependent pull requests that can be quickly reviewed.
