Stacked PRs are now live on GitHub | Hacker News

GitHub has added stacked pull requests in preview, letting developers chain related PRs so each depends on the one before it.

The feature is meant to make large or AI-generated changes easier to review and merge in smaller, dependent steps.

Hacker News discussion compared stacked PRs with simply using small commits and highlighted current workflow limits.

Users pointed to practical issues like broken stack merges, re-approval after squash merges, and quirks in rebase tooling.
