GitHub Opens Public Preview of Stacked Pull Requests
GitHub has launched stacked pull requests in public preview.
R/PROGRAMMING (TOP) — The feature splits large changes into an ordered series of small, focused pull requests, making reviews easier. Developers can create and manage dependent PR chains directly on the platform.
GitHub has made stacked pull requests available in a public preview, according to its changelog.
The feature addresses a common workflow problem: large changes are hard to review when packed into a single pull request. With stacks, a change is broken into an ordered series of pull requests, where each PR represents one focused layer of the overall change.
This approach has long been popular at companies with dedicated tooling (such as Phabricator or Graphite), and GitHub is now building it natively into its platform. The announcement drew attention on r/programming, where one commenter joked that the only thing better than reviewing one PR is reviewing one PR that is actually ten PRs.
The feature is currently in public preview, so availability and behavior may still change before general availability.
