  "how": {
    "incantation": "When a stack’s branches are spread across worktrees, use `gh stack rebase`, `gh stack sync`, or `gh stack modify`; gh-stack runs each change in the worktree owning its branch. If a rebase or modify pauses for conflicts, resolve and stage them in the reported checkout, then continue or abort from any worktree.",

      "gh stack rebase",
      "gh stack sync",

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v0.2.0",
      "Requires gh extension install github/gh-stack",
      "gh stack rebase --continue: Continue the rebase after resolving conflicts; stage resolutions with `git add` first.",
      "gh stack rebase --abort: Abort the rebase and restore branches to their pre-rebase state.",
      "gh stack modify --continue: Continue modify after resolving conflicts.",
      "gh stack modify --abort: Abort modify and restore the stack to its pre-modify state.",
      "Prerequisite: Git 2.36+ and GitHub CLI (`gh`) v2.0+ are required.",
      "Prerequisite: Install the extension with `gh extension install github/gh-stack`.",
      "Prerequisite: `modify` requires an active local stack, a clean working tree, no rebase in progress, no queued PR, and linear commit history.",
      "Requires Git 2.36+.",
      "gh-stack never creates, removes, or auto-stashes worktrees."
