What is stacked PR management and when do I need it?▼

Stacked PR management is the process of submitting dependent branches sequentially for code review. You need it when working on a large feature that depends on several smaller, individually reviewable branches.

Do I need git-spice and gh CLI to submit stacked branches as drafts?▼

Yes, you need both the git-spice CLI and the gh CLI installed for full functionality. These tools allow the skill to automatically submit your current stack of branches as draft pull requests on GitHub.

How do I restack branches after updating a pull request?▼

You can restack branches after updating a pull request by running this skill, which automatically synchronizes dependent branches and updates the GitHub PR chain to reflect changes in local Git history.

What's the best way to keep GitHub PRs aligned with local Git history?▼

The best way to keep GitHub PRs aligned with local Git history is using this skill for automated stack management, ensuring dependent branches remain synchronized cleanly during complex code review workflows.

Are there limitations when synchronizing a PR chain with git-spice?▼

A key limitation is the strict dependency on both git-spice and gh CLIs; without them, the automated synchronization of sequential code review branches across dependent chains will not function.
