GitHub has officially launched Stacked pull requests, allowing developers to break massive code changes into a chain of smaller, dependent PRs that can be reviewed and merged independently.

The documentation includes a quickstart guide recommending the gh stack extension for the GitHub CLI to create and manage these stacks. It also covers how to restructure stacked PRs, rebase branches, and optimize GitHub Actions workflows to reduce redundant CI runs.
