Submitting Stacked PRs with jj-spr

Stacked PRs transform a local commit stack into dependent GitHub pull requests automatically. jj-spr takes your Jujutsu-curated commits and creates a series of linked PRs with a single command, eliminating manual PR setup for each commit in your stack.

Yes. When you amend an earlier commit in your stack, jj-spr automatically updates the corresponding PR and rebases all dependent PRs, keeping your review stack synchronized without manual intervention or merge conflict resolution.

Break your feature into small, reviewable commits using Jujutsu, then submit them as stacked PRs with jj-spr. Reviewers see focused changesets with clear dependencies, enabling parallel reviews and faster iteration cycles compared to single large PRs.

jj-spr integrates with Jujutsu for local commit curation and GitHub CLI for PR operations. You need Jujutsu to organize your commit stack locally, then jj-spr and gh CLI handle the GitHub submission and management workflow.

jj-spr maintains dependency awareness across your stack. When you reorder commits using Jujutsu's rebase-based workflow, jj-spr updates PR dependencies and synchronizes PR descriptions with commit messages, preserving the logical structure of your changes.

jj-spr detects changes to earlier commits and automatically rebases dependent PRs on top of the updated commit. PR descriptions update to reflect amended commit messages, and the dependency chain stays intact without manual conflict resolution.
