That's exactly right.

> you can create stacked PRs purely via the UI

How?

I see from the docs https://github.github.com/gh-stack/introduction/overview:

> When a pull request is part of a stack

How does GitHub determine if a PR is part of a stack? Is it automatically detected so that I don't need to adjust my tooling that already creates chained PRs?

When you're using the UI to open a PR, if you set the base to a branch that has an open PR there'll be an "Add to Stack" option: https://github.github.com/gh-stack/guides/ui/#step-2-create-...

Stacks require users to explicitly indicate that they are opening a PR that should be part of a stack.

It's very confusing that the "quick start" guide says the CLI is a requirement, when it's apparently not. This UI flow is exactly what I want! Thank you!
