You can’t merge one commit at a time in a PR. In a stack, if the first 4 parts of a feature are good to go and there’s a problem with the 5th, the whole thing doesn’t need to be blocked.

I wonder if they could have added the ability to take only certain commits from a PR though?

It kinda seems like they're duplicating the "unit of change" arbitrarily, rather than just fixing the way a PR works.

I think the reason I find that a bit icky is it seems like it's diverging GitHub from the underlying git tool, which I trust a lot more.
