Why Stacked PRs Make Collaboration Easier 🚀 PR reviews shouldn't feel like a battle. Stacked PRs break big changes into smaller, reviewable pieces, making teamwork seamless. Here’s why they supercharge collaboration 👇

1️⃣ Big PRs = Big Problems ❌ Hard to review ❌ Reviewers get lost in too many changes ❌ Endless back & forth slows progress ❌ Rubber-stamping leads to hidden bugs Stacked PRs fix this 👇

2️⃣ What Are Stacked PRs? 🔹 A sequence of smaller, dependent PRs 🔹 Each PR builds on the previous one 🔹 Easier to review since each PR focuses on a single step Example: ✅ PR 1: Refactor DB schema ✅ PR 2: API changes ✅ PR 3: Update UI

3️⃣ Reviewers Love Stacked PRs ❤️ ✅ Faster reviews (small changes = quick feedback) ✅ Focused discussions (each PR solves one problem) ✅ Fewer merge conflicts (less code churn) ✅ Easier debugging (pinpoint issues in smaller PRs)

5️⃣ Example: Adding a Dark Mode Feature 🌙 ❌ One Big PR – Backend, API, UI, styles, settings all in one = 🔥 ✅ Stacked PRs: 1️⃣ Backend: Store dark mode preference 2️⃣ API: Expose preference 3️⃣ UI: Toggle switch + styles Much easier to review!

6️⃣ Merge Strategy: Bottom-Up vs. Top-Down 🔹 Bottom-up: Merge base PR first, then the next 🔹 Top-down: Rebase from the base PR as you go Tools like gh stack & av make this effortless!

7️⃣ Bonus: Stacked PRs Work Best With Feature Flags 🚩 🔹 Ship incomplete features behind flags 🔹 Merge incrementally without affecting users 🔹 Reduce risk of breaking production
