GitButler Stacks

Dependent branches → anchor-based stacking → reviewable chunks.

<when_to_use>

• Sequential dependencies (e.g., refactor → API → frontend)
• Large features broken into reviewable chunks
• Granular code review (approve/merge early phases independently)
• Post-hoc stack organization after exploratory coding

NOT for: independent parallel features (use virtual branches), projects using Graphite stacking
