  • Summary: GitHub's changelog states that stacked pull requests are in public preview. A stack holds dependency-ordered pull requests, each reviewed as its own layer, merged through a single merge. The feature works against existing branch protection rules and required status checks.
  • Why it matters: Per-layer review with one merge removes the manual rebasing that third-party stacking tools existed to handle, inside the review surface teams already use.
