GitHub opened stacked pull requests to public preview, letting a large code change be split into an ordered series of small pull requests that each build on the one below. Reviewers can check each layer separately, and the whole stack, or just the lower layers, can be merged in a single step. Support for merge queues is arriving more gradually over the following weeks.

Large changes had to be opened as one big pull request, or split across branches that developers rebased by hand.

What it unlocks
