Managing Stacked PRs

What's this blog post about?

Stacked Pull Requests (PRs) are a development workflow strategy where multiple smaller PRs are opened in a specific sequence, each one building upon the previous. This approach allows for easier code review as each PR contains a manageable chunk of changes, making it simpler for reviewers to understand the context and impact. Stacked PRs are particularly useful in larger projects where a single PR could become overwhelming to review. Managing Stacked PRs can be made more efficient with specialized tools like ghstack, Git Town, Sapling, spr, and Graphite. By incorporating Stacked PRs and these tools into your development process, you can significantly improve code quality, reduce review time, and ultimately, deliver better software.
