GitHub Launches Public Preview of Stacked Pull Requests
damovisa · x · 2026-07-31
GitHub has announced that Stacked Pull Requests (PRs) are now available in public preview.
This feature allows developers to break massive code changes into a chain of smaller, dependent PRs that can be reviewed and merged independently. The official documentation covers:
- Quickstart: Creating your first set of stacked PRs using the gh stack extension via GitHub CLI.
- Management: Restructuring stacks, rebasing branches, and modifying lower layers.
- Merging: Merging from the bottom up, individually, or in contiguous groups.
- CI Optimization: Accessing stack metadata in GitHub Actions workflows to reduce redundant CI runs.
