gh-stack

gh stack is a GitHub CLI extension for managing stacked branches and pull requests . A stack is an ordered list of branches where each branch builds on the one below it, rooted on a trunk branch (typically the repo's default branch). Each branch maps to one PR whose base is the branch below it, so reviewers see only the diff for that layer. The bottom of the stack is the branch closest to the trunk, and the top is the branch furthest from the trunk. Each branch inherits from the one below it. Navigation commands ( up , down , top , bottom ) follow this model: up moves away from trunk, down moves toward it. Use this skill when the user wants to: The GitHub CLI ( gh ) v2.0+ must be installed and authenticated. Install the extension with: Before using gh stack , configure git to prevent interactive prompts: All gh stack commands must be run non-interactively.
