Stacked PRs: a practical guide to smaller, faster code reviews with GitHub CLI
Arindam_1729 · x · 2026-09-02
Arindam Majumder's HackerNoon tutorial (a top story) explains stacked PRs: a chain of dependent PRs where the bottom one targets main and each upper PR targets the branch below it (e.g., user-model → auth-api → login-ui). Large PRs mix too many concerns and stall reviews; stacking makes each layer an independently reviewable change, with GitHub showing stack relationships in the UI. The guide walks through managing a full stack with GitHub CLI using an auth feature split into database, API, and UI layers, and covers when the workflow fits. A video walkthrough is included.
