What are stacked pull requests?

Stacked PRs are a sequence of small, incremental pull requests where each one depends on the previous one, allowing for easier review of complex features.

How does this skill handle merge conflicts in a stack?

It provides specific rebase patterns and automation scripts to propagate changes through the stack, ensuring that updating a base PR doesn't break dependent branches.

Does this skill require special software?

It uses standard Git and GitHub CLI commands, though it also provides references for third-party tools like Graphite and git-branchless.

How do I merge a stack of pull requests?

PRs must be merged in order starting from the base. As each PR merges into main, the next PR in the stack is updated to target the main branch.

When should I use a stacked PR workflow instead of a single PR?

Use stacked PRs for features exceeding 400 lines of code or changes that can be logically separated into independent, reviewable units.

협업 도구

Manages complex feature development by breaking large changes into a stack of small, dependent, and reviewable pull requests.

The Stacked PRs skill provides a structured framework for implementing large features through a 'stacked' approach, creating a chain of pull requests where each branch builds upon the previous one. This methodology allows developers to submit smaller, logical chunks for review without waiting for the entire feature to be completed, significantly speeding up the code review cycle. The skill includes detailed patterns for planning stacks, managing complex rebases when base branches change, and maintaining a clean git history through automated workflow scripts and standardized PR templates.
