Stay unblocked in code review and build products faster with stacking

High-performing developers often use a method called "stacking" to manage their workflow more efficiently, especially when dealing with code reviews that are pending. Stacking involves creating a feature branch, committing completed features to it, and then branching off this feature branch to continue work, allowing developers to bypass delays caused by unreviewed code. This method helps in breaking down large pull requests into smaller, more manageable parts, making it easier for reviewers to understand and approve changes. While GitHub supports stacking, its tooling is not as refined as Phabricator or Gerrit, but tools like Graphite and others can help automate and streamline this process. By adopting stacking, developers can expedite their work, reduce their reviewers’ workload, and achieve more granular control over feature releases, facilitating faster and more thorough code reviews.
