GitHub Launches Stacked Pull Requests in Public Preview
DanWahlin · x · 2026-07-31
GitHub has announced that Stacked Pull Requests are now in public preview. This feature allows developers to break down large changes into an ordered series of small, focused PRs.
Key features include:
- Reviewing short, narrowly scoped PRs in parallel while maintaining quality.
- Full compatibility with existing branch protections, reviews, and merge queues.
- Merging an entire stack altogether or individual layers one at a time.
- Accessibility via GitHub.com, CLI extension, the mobile app, and coding agents like GitHub Copilot.
Industry figures like Tim Neutkens (Vercel) and John Resig (jQuery creator) praised the feature for significantly reducing review friction.
