    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Manages stacked branches and pull requests on GitHub by automating branch creation, rebasing, PR base setting, and navigation within a stack.
    • Simplifies handling complex, dependent PRs by linking them as a stack, enabling incremental reviews and reducing merge conflicts.
    • Use for breaking large feature development into smaller, reviewable pull requests that build on each other sequentially.
    • Use for automating synchronization of local stacked branches with their corresponding GitHub PRs, including rebasing and pushing updates.
    • Use for interactively restructuring a stack of branches, such as reordering, folding, or dropping branches, to maintain a clean commit history.

    From the README

    A GitHub CLI extension for managing stacked branches and pull requests.

    Stacked PRs break large changes into a chain of small, reviewable pull requests that build on each other. gh stack automates the tedious parts — creating branches, keeping them rebased, setting correct PR base branches, and navigating between layers.

    Requires the GitHub CLI (gh) v2.0+.
