gh stack is a GitHub CLI extension for stacked branches and pull
requests. A stack is an ordered chain of branches rooted on a trunk, where each branch has one PR
based on the branch below it, so a reviewer sees only that layer's diff.
gh stack prints a stack trunk-first, left to right:
(main) <- auth <- api <- frontend
Left is the bottom, right is the top. auth is based on main and merges first;
frontend merges last. up moves toward the top, away from trunk; down moves toward it.
Foundational work belongs at the bottom, code that depends on it above. For how to choose the
layers, read references/stack-design.md.
Check the extension before first use in a session (/gh-stack:setup walks through this):
gh extension list | grep stack || gh extension install github/gh-stack
git config rerere.enabled true # remember conflict resolutions
git config remote.pushDefault origin # required if the repo has more than one remote
Optional: gh stack alias installs a gs-style shortcut for gh stack.
gh stack branches on whether stdout is a TTY. Piped, most commands error cleanly or print
static text; under a PTY the same commands open a prompt or a full-screen TUI and block forever.
Agent harnesses differ, so always pass the flags below instead of relying on that detection.
Multiple remotes: never run push, submit, sync, rebase, or link without
--remote <name> unless remote.pushDefault is configured. checkout and trunk have no
--remote flag and require the config.
| Always run | Never run bare | Why |
|---|---|---|
gh stack view --json | gh stack view | opens a TUI under a PTY |
gh stack submit --auto | gh stack submit | prompts for a title per new PR |
gh stack merge <target> --yes | gh pr merge | gh pr merge cannot merge a stack |
gh stack init <branch>... | gh stack init | prompts for branch names |
gh stack add <branch> | gh stack add | prompts for a name, and fails even when piped |
gh stack checkout <target> | gh stack checkout | opens a selection menu |
gh stack up / down / top / bottom | gh stack switch | switch is menu-only |
| — | gh stack modify | TUI-only, no non-interactive path |
view --short is safe in both modes, but it is formatted for humans. Use --json to parse.checkout <pr> when a different local stack already covers those branches cannot be forced.
Run gh stack unstack --local first (this keeps the stack on GitHub), then retry.gh stack view --json; if
ownership is unclear, inspect git log --all -- <path>. Then check out the owner, edit, commit,
rebase upstack, and return to top.gh stack down # or: gh stack checkout api
git add ... && git commit -m "Add get-user endpoint"
gh stack rebase --upstack # replay every branch above onto the change
gh stack top # return to where you were
gh stack push
gh stack init auth # create the stack and check out its branch
git add ... && git commit -m "Add auth middleware"
gh stack add api # next layer, branched from the current one
git add ... && git commit -m "Add API routes"
gh stack submit --auto # push every branch and open draft PRs
gh stack view --json # confirm
Add --open to submit to create PRs ready for review instead of drafts. Branch names are
verbatim — gh stack add refactor/foo creates refactor/foo. Existing branches passed to init
are adopted automatically (the legacy --adopt flag is deprecated).
gh stack sync # fetch, reconcile with GitHub, rebase, push, refresh PR state
gh stack sync --prune # also delete local branches for merged PRs
Pruning never happens without --prune when non-interactive. sync never opens PRs — run
submit for that. If the local and remote stacks have diverged, sync prints both chains, makes
no changes, and exits 0 with Sync aborted — see references/troubleshooting.md.
Scope the merge with an argument:
gh stack merge 42 --yes # PR #42 plus every unmerged PR below it
gh stack merge 7 --yes # every unmerged PR in stack #7
gh stack merge 42 --yes --squash # or --merge, --rebase, --merge-method <method>
Pass a PR number to merge that PR and every unmerged PR below it, or a stack number to merge every unmerged PR in that stack. The operation is all-or-nothing: if any PR in that set cannot merge, none do.
Without a method flag the last-used method is reused. If the base branch uses a merge queue, the stack is queued instead and the queue picks the method, ignoring any flag you passed with a warning; queued PRs may land in separate groups.
gh stack view --json writes JSON to stdout. Status messages go to stderr — do not parse
them, branch on exit codes instead.

# GitHub Stacked PRs
`gh stack` is a [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/) extension for stacked branches and pull
requests. A stack is an ordered chain of branches rooted on a trunk, where each branch has one PR
based on the branch below it, so a reviewer sees only that layer's diff.
`gh stack` prints a stack trunk-first, left to right:
```
(main) <- auth <- api <- frontend
```
Left is the **bottom**, right is the **top**. `auth` is based on `main` and merges first;
`frontend` merges last. `up` moves toward the top, away from trunk; `down` moves toward it.
Foundational work belongs at the bottom, code that depends on it above. For how to choose the
layers, read `references/stack-design.md`.
## Setup
Check the extension before first use in a session (`/gh-stack:setup` walks through this):
```bash
gh extension list | grep stack || gh extension install github/gh-stack
git config rerere.enabled true # remember conflict resolutions
git config remote.pushDefault origin # required if the repo has more than one remote
```
Optional: `gh stack alias` installs a `gs`-style shortcut for `gh stack`.
## Non-interactive use
`gh stack` branches on whether **stdout is a TTY**. Piped, most commands error cleanly or print
static text; under a PTY the same commands open a prompt or a full-screen TUI and block forever.
Agent harnesses differ, so always pass the flags below instead of relying on that detection.
**Multiple remotes:** never run `push`, `submit`, `sync`, `rebase`, or `link` without
`--remote <name>` unless `remote.pushDefault` is configured. `checkout` and `trunk` have no
`--remote` flag and require the config.
| Always run | Never run bare | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `gh stack view --json` | `gh stack view` | opens a TUI under a PTY |
| `gh stack submit --auto` | `gh stack submit` | prompts for a title per new PR |
| `gh stack merge <target> --yes` | `gh pr merge` | `gh pr merge` cannot merge a stack |
| `gh stack init <branch>...` | `gh stack init` | prompts for branch names |
| `gh stack add <branch>` | `gh stack add` | prompts for a name, and fails even when piped |
| `gh stack checkout <target>` | `gh stack checkout` | opens a selection menu |
| `gh stack up` / `down` / `top` / `bottom` | `gh stack switch` | `switch` is menu-only |
| — | `gh stack modify` | TUI-only, no non-interactive path |
- `view --short` is safe in both modes, but it is formatted for humans. Use `--json` to parse.
- **`checkout <pr>` when a different local stack already covers those branches** cannot be forced.
Run `gh stack unstack --local` first (this keeps the stack on GitHub), then retry.
## Branch placement
- **Starting multi-part work:** create the stack before writing files. Do not implement every
concern on trunk and split it later. Put one dependent concern in each layer, bottom to top.
- **Editing an existing stack:** check out the layer that owns the change before editing. Never
commit a lower layer's concern on the current top branch. Run `gh stack view --json`; if
ownership is unclear, inspect `git log --all -- <path>`. Then check out the owner, edit, commit,
rebase upstack, and return to top.
```bash
gh stack down # or: gh stack checkout api
git add ... && git commit -m "Add get-user endpoint"
gh stack rebase --upstack # replay every branch above onto the change
gh stack top # return to where you were
gh stack push
```
## Core loop
```bash
gh stack init auth # create the stack and check out its branch
git add ... && git commit -m "Add auth middleware"
gh stack add api # next layer, branched from the current one
git add ... && git commit -m "Add API routes"
gh stack submit --auto # push every branch and open draft PRs
gh stack view --json # confirm
```
Add `--open` to `submit` to create PRs ready for review instead of drafts. Branch names are
verbatim — `gh stack add refactor/foo` creates `refactor/foo`. Existing branches passed to `init`
are adopted automatically (the legacy `--adopt` flag is deprecated).
## Staying in sync
```bash
gh stack sync # fetch, reconcile with GitHub, rebase, push, refresh PR state
gh stack sync --prune # also delete local branches for merged PRs
```
Pruning never happens without `--prune` when non-interactive. `sync` never opens PRs — run
`submit` for that. If the local and remote stacks have diverged, `sync` prints both chains, makes
no changes, and exits 0 with `Sync aborted` — see `references/troubleshooting.md`.
## Merging
Scope the merge with an argument:
```bash
gh stack merge 42 --yes # PR #42 plus every unmerged PR below it
gh stack merge 7 --yes # every unmerged PR in stack #7
gh stack merge 42 --yes --squash # or --merge, --rebase, --merge-method <method>
```
Pass a PR number to merge that PR and every unmerged PR below it, or a stack number to merge every
unmerged PR in that stack. The operation is all-or-nothing: if any PR in that set cannot merge,
none do.
Without a method flag the last-used method is reused. If the base branch uses a merge queue, the
stack is queued instead and the queue picks the method, ignoring any flag you passed with a
warning; queued PRs may land in separate groups.
## Reading state
`gh stack view --json` writes JSON to **stdout**. Status messages go to **stderr** — do not parse
them, branch on exit codes instead.
```
trunk string
currentBranch string
branches[] name, head, base, isCurrent, isMerged, isQueued, needsRebase
branches[].pr number, url, state ("OPEN" | "MERGED" | "QUEUED"); absent when no PR exists
```
`base` is the saved SHA of the parent branch that this branch was last known to contain. It may be
older than the parent's current tip. `needsRebase` is true when the current parent tip is no longer
an ancestor of the branch.
Status icons in `gh stack view`: `✓` merged, `◎` queued, `○` open, `⚠` needs rebase.
## Exit codes
| Code | Meaning | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Success | — |
| 1 | Generic error | Read stderr |
| 2 | Not in a stack | `gh stack init`, or `gh stack checkout <target>` |
| 3 | Rebase conflict | Follow the Exit 3 recovery below |
| 4 | GitHub API failure | Check `gh auth status`, retry |
| 5 | Invalid arguments | Fix the invocation; see `<command> --help` |
| 6 | Disambiguation required | Branch is in several stacks; check out a non-shared branch |
| 7 | Rebase already in progress | `gh stack rebase --continue` or `--abort` |
| 8 | Stack file locked | Another `gh stack` process is writing; retry after ~5s |
| 9 | Stacked PRs unavailable | Not enabled on the repository; tell the user |
| 10 | Modify recovery required | `gh stack modify --abort` |
**Exit 3 recovery:**
- After `gh stack rebase`: resolve the files, run `git add`, then
`gh stack rebase --continue`; use `gh stack rebase --abort` to restore the stack.
- After `gh stack sync`: the stack has already been restored. Run `gh stack rebase` to recreate the
conflict, then resolve and continue as above.
## Constraints
- Stacks are strictly linear: one parent, at most one child. Use separate stacks for parallel work.
- There is no non-interactive reorder or removal. Errors may suggest `gh stack modify`, but it is
TUI-only — restructure with `unstack` then `init` instead (see `references/troubleshooting.md`).
- PR titles and bodies are auto-generated. Use `gh pr edit` afterwards to change them.
- `checkout <branch-name>` resolves against local stacks only. Use a stack or PR number to pull a
stack down from GitHub.
- `unstack` is blocked while every PR in the stack is queued for merge, merging, or already merged.
Use `--local` to only drop local tracking while keeping the stack on GitHub.
## Safety
- `submit`/`sync` push with `--force-with-lease`; rebase/sync conflicts restore branches
automatically — but still confirm before destructive operations (`unstack`, `modify` drops/folds).
- Never assume a stack state from memory; check `gh stack view --json` or `git branch` before
restructuring.
## More detail
`gh stack <command> --help` is authoritative for flags and arguments. Note that
`gh stack help <command>` does **not** work — it prints the top-level help.
Open the reference whose trigger matches the task; no need to preload all three.
- `references/stack-design.md` — read before creating a stack, when deciding how many layers to
use, what belongs in each one, or whether work belongs in a new stack.
- `references/commands.md` — read when a command fails unexpectedly or you need its preconditions,
side effects, atomicity, or ordering guarantees.
- `references/troubleshooting.md` — read on a rebase conflict, after a squash-merge, on local and
remote divergence, when restructuring a stack, or when driving stacks from another tool.
Stack metadata lives in `.git/gh-stack` (a JSON file, not committed); interrupted-rebase state
lives in `.git/gh-stack-rebase-state`.
