What are stacked PRs?

Stacked PRs break big code changes into a chain of small, dependent pull requests—each quick to review, keeping your workflow unblocked.

How do I start using stacked PRs?

Grab Graphite (free tier works), `gt stack create`, build incrementally off the base branch. Plan your chain first—10 minutes saves days.

Absolutely—Google and Meta thrive on them at scale, enforcing small diffs for secure, speedy reviews.
