alt Hacker NewsI have never got a good answer to "can't you just make smaller PRs". This is convoluted tooling (needs its own CLI) for something you could achieve with just learning how git works.

If there is a stack of size n and you make a modification at the first change, closest to the trunk, is there a single git command you can run to rebase the other n-1 branches and ensure they remote branches are updated?
I agree that a `gh stack` command is not needed, but this feels to me like just a better UI feature for a good git workflow. It literally is about making multiple smaller PRs that build on top of each other.
Right, so 'just work the way the tool requires instead of making the tool work the way you want'. I would prefer the tool worked the way I want and the way I think of the changes instead.
IMO this tool is basically allowing you to do that, it just takes care of the bookkeeping to associate the series of smaller PRs with eachother which is possible today but requires a lot of clicking.
