alt Hacker NewsHey from the GitHub Stacked PRs team!
Excited to release this more broadly so anyone can start stacking: https://gh.io/stacks
Would love to hear any feedback, especially with the UI and CLI. We've got a lot more updates to the PR experience in store!
Also happy to answer questions about the design decisions we made. There's a bunch happening behind the scenes, and it's one of the largest launches in GitHub history covering almost every service from Actions and protection rules to the CLI and mobile apps.

Why not to make it part of Git project? Such fragmentation adds complexity and vendor locking.
Is support for cross-fork stacked PRs coming in the near future? I was surprised that didn't come before the feature entered public preview, as it seems rather important for the feature to be useful on public repositories.
This is the feature I’ve missed most from Gerrit. Thank you
Your team did an awesome job - I’ve been wanting this feature for years and what you guys delivered is exactly what I had in mind.
> Also happy to answer questions about the design decisions we made.
Why did you choose extra pull requests as the division of work instead of building out a decent UI for reviewing/applying/reworking at the commit level? I assume there's some extra insight that made you ignore the mailing list "series of patches" workflow that inspired this whole thing and go with "series of series of patches" instead.
I needed this feature! Thank you
I like it based on initial testing today. I already use my own local UI for managing stacked PRs so I can see the dependencies as a tree view and the review + CI status for each, it would be good to also have those in the GH web UI. Maybe I missed it but it looks like merging just the bottom of the stack in the web UI might not be supported? Happy to share the workflow / code, it would be nice if it was supported within GitHub's native tools.
