Research direction

The issue names this extension and the official github/gh-stack project, but no repository file or test. Compare their worktree and stacked pull request behavior first; done would be a documented comparison that answers whether stacks are visible and manageable in the GitHub UI.

Description

Hello @boneskull !

I've stumbled upon the project when looking into how to make the official github gh-stack work with worktrees.

It seems that you've solved it, but I was wondering how does the rest of the extension compare to the official one.
Do you have any experience with the other tool that you can share?

P.S.
Didnt find any mention of it in the readme, but does this extension create actual github stacks that can be viewed and managed through the github UI, or is it a local only stack management?
