@github Don't use this. GitHub's ban detection system is messed up right now and might ban you randomly. Until that is resolved keep activity on the down low.

@github can you merge it as one PR, as one commit? Will it show in history as one commit?

@github Huge for AI-assisted PRs specifically — agents love touching 6 files at once, and this finally gives a clean way to review that as separate logical changes instead of one giant blob.

@github finally, the git history can admit the feature was actually six separate ideas.

@github This feature is much needed. AI tools end up modifying multiple files and features all at once, so stacked PRs have been a lifesaver here. Thanks for doing this!

@github Stacked PRs natively on GitHub is an absolute dream come true for dev velocity! 🤩

@github Stacked PRs are nice, but they only work if each change stays logically independent. Otherwise you're just reviewing a big diff in installments. How do you keep intermediate commits reviewable?

English

W3care Technologies@w3care·2d

@github Smaller, well-scoped pull requests improve more than review speed. They make testing clearer, reduce deployment risk and make rollback decisions easier. Stacked PRs can be especially valuable when a large feature needs to move forward without becoming one difficult review.

@github Stacked PRs help a lot when the dependency chain stays obvious. Independent CI per stack and a clean base/child relationship make reviews much less painful.

@github Stacked pull requests fit the way strong engineering work actually evolves. Smaller review units should also make agent generated changes easier to verify before they reach production.

Aarav@byaarav·19h

@github agents made giant diffs cheap. stacked PRs make them reviewable.

English

Maik Pietzka@MPi_IT·2d

@github Stacked PRs are one of those changes that sound small until you review a 2,000-line diff. Smaller reviews mean faster feedback, clearer intent and fewer hidden regressions.
