Research direction

Start at the plugin's CLI entry point and inspect how the existing stack command is registered. Run the extension before and after the change to verify that both gh stack and gh stacks invoke the same command successfully.

Description

I find myself continually accidentally typing gh stacks which is un-recognized.
Yeah, I know its my dumb fault, but it seems simple enough to add an alias for stacks => stack in the plugin's CLI.
Please consider it.
