Manage bulk pull requests

Developed by GitHub, gh-stack is a command line tool that makes it easy to create and manage stacked pull requests during the software development process. It aims to speed up the review process by dividing complex code changes into small and independent parts.

I use the gh-stack tool to create stacked pull requests on GitHub. Include my existing working branches in a stack structure, manage dependencies between branches, and push the stack to GitHub to speed up the code review process.

Repository: https://github.com/github/gh-stack. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.

Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.

Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.

Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
