alt Hacker NewsHey from the GitHub Stacked PRs team!
Excited to release this more broadly so anyone can start stacking: https://gh.io/stacks
Would love to hear any feedback, especially with the UI and CLI. We've got a lot more updates to the PR experience in store!
Also happy to answer questions about the design decisions we made. There's a bunch happening behind the scenes, and it's one of the largest launches in GitHub history covering almost every service from Actions and protection rules to the CLI and mobile apps.

Your team did an awesome job - I’ve been wanting this feature for years and what you guys delivered is exactly what I had in mind.
> Also happy to answer questions about the design decisions we made.
Why did you choose extra pull requests as the division of work instead of building out a decent UI for reviewing/applying/reworking at the commit level? I assume there's some extra insight that made you ignore the mailing list "series of patches" workflow that inspired this whole thing and go with "series of series of patches" instead.
This is the feature I’ve missed most from Gerrit. Thank you
I needed this feature! Thank you
Is support for cross-fork stacked PRs coming in the near future? I was surprised that didn't come before the feature entered public preview, as it seems rather important for the feature to be useful on public repositories.
