The new gh-stack CLI extension supports stack maps, partial merges, automatic rebasing, branch protections, and merge queues. Research shows PRs under 200 lines are approved three times faster and have 40% fewer defects than larger ones. The feature is particularly relevant as AI coding tools generate increasingly large changesets that can overwhelm reviewers. Early adopters like Vercel's Next.js team and TED's engineering team report improved review workflows. Merge queue support is rolling out progressively over coming weeks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
