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.

Who hunted GitHub Stacked PRs?
GitHub Stacked PRs was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
