Summary
On October 6, 2026, GitHub moved stacked pull requests to general availability, letting developers build and review chains of dependent pull requests natively instead of relying on third-party tools.
What changed
Stacked pull requests became generally available on GitHub.
Why it matters
Native stacked PRs streamline large, incremental changes and faster review cycles, an increasingly relevant workflow as AI agents produce many small, dependent changes that benefit from stacked review rather than one large diff.
