GitHub stacked pull requests are generally available on all github.com plans: approvals survive rebases, whole stacks land via merge queue, and gh stack ships an AI-agent skill
On 2026-10-06 GitHub made stacked pull requests generally available on all github.com plans, with GitHub Enterprise Server support coming in a later release. Since the public preview, repos using stacks have merged 9% more code than their peers, and more than two-thirds of the top 1% of repos now use them, with a 5% faster time-to-merge. New in GA: approvals are kept for unchanged code after a rebase, replacement commits are signed automatically, a whole stack enters the merge queue as one merge group, stacks retarget automatically when their base branch is deleted, and stack auto-merge is rolling out over the coming weeks. The gh-stack CLI extension (v0.2.0) now supports Git worktrees, and gh skill install github/gh-stack teaches AI coding agents how to split large changes into stacked PRs.
