ghstack is a command-line tool that submits stacks of Git commits to GitHub as separate, dependent pull requests. It supports updating, rebasing, and landing stacked diffs, with optional AI-generated PR descriptions via Claude or Codex.

Use cases

• submit stacked diffs to github
• create one pull request per commit in a stack
• update a pull request by amending a commit
• land a stacked pull request from the cli
• manage dependent prs on github
• generate pr descriptions with claude or codex

When to choose

• you develop features as a series of dependent commits and want reviewable per-commit PRs
• you work on large codebases like PyTorch where stacked diffs are the norm
• you want to update or rebase a whole stack with a single command

When to avoid

• you only need simple single-branch pull requests via the GitHub UI
• you prefer tools like Graphite or sapling for stack management
• your workflow relies on merge commits, which ghstack does not support
