Instead of pushing one giant PR, you can split a change into smaller dependent layers that are easier to review and merge. GitHub adds stack maps in the PR UI, applies rules and CI against the final target branch, supports bottom-up merging, and ships the gh stack CLI to handle branch creation, rebasing, syncing, and submission.
That means less PR sprawl, better review context, and much less manual pain around dependent branches.
