gh stack checkout opens an interactive stack picker

Introduced 2026-07-15 · score 0.96

HOW TO USE IT

When you need to choose a stack without knowing its identifier, run `gh stack checkout` in an interactive terminal and select it from the picker. Use the All/Local/Remote tabs or `/` search; selecting a remote-only stack clones it locally before switching to it.

gh stack checkout

WHY THIS HELPS

When choosing a local or GitHub stack without already knowing its identifier, run `gh stack checkout` with no argument and select the desired stack.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v0.0.8
  • stack-number, pr-number, pr-url, branch: Optional checkout target; omitting it opens the picker in an interactive terminal.
  • All / Local / Remote tabs: Filter the picker by all available stacks, locally tracked stacks, or remote stacks.
  • /: Start searching the picker; the v0.0.8 release says search matches the stack number, base, and every stack branch, including mid-stack branches.
  • Prerequisite: The picker opens when run without arguments in an interactive terminal.
  • Prerequisite: Install the extension with `gh extension install github/gh-stack`; requires GitHub CLI `gh` v2.0+. Stacked PRs must be enabled for the repository.
  • The picker searches stack number, base branch, and every branch in the stack, including mid-stack branches.
