GitHub has made stacked pull requests available to all users, allowing developers to create dependent PRs that build on each other rather than merging sequentially.
The feature enables developers to stack multiple pull requests in a single branch, with each PR dependent on the previous one. This workflow reduces merge conflicts and streamlines code review for large changes that span multiple commits.
Stacked PRs are particularly useful for complex refactors or feature implementations that benefit from incremental review. Each PR in the stack can be reviewed and merged independently, while maintaining the logical relationship between changes.
The rollout follows months of private beta testing. GitHub integrated feedback from early users to refine the feature before the public release. The capability is now available across GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise.
This addition addresses a long-standing developer request and positions GitHub to compete with other platforms that have offered stacking workflows. The feature is accessible through the standard pull request interface without requiring additional tools or configuration.
