Stacked PRs – Pros and Cons?

Re:Stacked PRs – Pros and Cons? by rektide on Wednesday May 03, 2023 @11:19PM (#35810842)

For any long work, I love having a draft PR going, and then making PR's into that. Its basically like stacked PRs but I don't need each PR to be shippable independently.

The advantage is so nice. You can make a bunch of finer-grained PRs that have really good descriptions for what happened, what's changing. And it builds a big PR that has the top-down view. It creates a very understandable hierarchy of understanding. And it shows work over time.

Edit: apologies... maybe this is also Stacked PRs? I think of Stacked PRs as a series of PRs into main. But I see posts like this which show PRs into PRs, which is what I'm describing above. https://benjamincongdon.me/blog/2022/07/17/In-Praise-of-Stac...

Nice that sounds like a really neat workflow. I haven't used stacked PRs before, I feel like everywhere I've worked has generally been: work on a feature, PR/MR the branch and try to keep it small. Any idea what it isn't more common?
