Stacked PRs are finally here! In this episode of GitHub Checkout, Senior Product Manager Sameen Karim joins us to demonstrate how to break large feature branches into small, focused pull requests that build on top of each other. Learn how to install the gh-stack CLI extension, navigate layers with the terminal UI, and leverage Copilot to auto-generate tests within your stack. See how easy it is to ship code piece by piece and merge an entire stack in one click.
