""Large pull requests are hard to review, slow to merge, and prone to conflicts. Reviewers lose context, feedback quality drops, and the whole team slows down.""
""Stacked PRs tracks how requests in a stack relate to one other, propagating changes automatically so developers don't have to keep rebasing their code and letting reviewers assess each step in context.""
""The feature, GitHub wrote, is delivered through gh-stack, a new extension to GitHub CLI that manages the local workflow, including branch creation, rebasing, pushing changes, and opening pull requests with the correct base branches.""
GitHub has launched a new feature called Stacked PRs to assist development teams in managing large pull requests. This feature addresses the challenges posed by AI-aided development tools that generate more code, making reviews difficult. Stacked PRs allow developers to break down large changes into smaller units, improving the speed and quality of code reviews. The feature minimizes rebasing efforts, enhances continuous integration, and preserves review context, ultimately facilitating better code quality and team efficiency.
