GitHub ships native Stacked PRs, `gh stack` CLI

GitHub's native solution for stacked pull requests allows developers to break complex features into small, reviewable increments. It combines a new `gh stack` CLI for automated branch management with UI-level stack maps to simplify the review of dependent changes.

// ANALYSIS

GitHub addresses the "mega-PR" problem by natively embracing the stacked workflow pioneered by Meta and Google. The gh stack CLI automates tedious branch management previously requiring third-party tools like Graphite, while new UI-level stack maps solve context loss for reviewers. Features like one-click merging and cascading rebases eliminate manual retargeting, and AI agent integration suggests GitHub is positioning stacks as the standard for multi-step code changes.
