Stacked pull requests set B on top of A and C on top of B, splitting a large change into focused layers. Each review can consider only the delta from its parent layer.

The demo stacks A, B, and C, then updates the base as lower layers merge. Upper layers depend on lower ones, so order and check status matter. GitHub announced built-in support in public preview in July 2026.

When to use

Use it to split a large feature into reviewable changes that can be examined in parallel.
