A stack is an ordered series of small pull requests, each targeting the layer below it, so a large change ships as reviewable pieces instead of one monster diff. Reviewers get a stack map showing where each diff fits; teams can merge a whole stack in one operation or land lower layers early, and the upper PRs rebase and retarget automatically. The preview covers github.com, the CLI (gh extension install github/gh-stack), mobile, and Copilot agents via a gh-stack skill, with merge queue support rolling out over the following weeks. Worth watching for anyone reviewing agent-generated changes too: small stacked layers are exactly the shape that keeps those reviews honest.\n\n## Excerpt:\n\n\"GitHub ships native stacked pull requests: large changes organized as an ordered series of small, focused PRs, with automatic rebasing and retargeting as lower layers merge.\"\n\n#Developer Tools#Software Development#Code Quality\n\n[Read Full Source](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-07-30-stacked-pull-requests-are-now-in-public-preview/)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stacked-pull-requests-are-now-in-public-preview", "canonical_source": "https://www.lightningjar.com/reading-list/stacked-pull-requests", "published_at": "2026-07-31 12:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-31 12:27:13.410261+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools"], "entities": ["GitHub", "GitHub CLI", "gh-stack", "Copilot"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stacked-pull-requests-are-now-in-public-preview", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stacked-pull-requests-are-now-in-public-preview.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stacked-pull-requests-are-now-in-public-preview.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stacked-pull-requests-are-now-in-public-preview.jsonld"}}
