Why can't the base of the stack be the actual main branch?
See original GitHub issueThis is more of question. The README page correctly points out that merging commits from the github UI becomes impossible when using ghstack. One thing that would help with this is if the actual base of the branch the real main and not a brach created by ghstack. I am sure there is a reason for it but why is the base branch called gh/username/1/base, what would be the downside of basing the PR against main?
WARNING. You will NOT be able to merge these commits using the normal GitHub UI, as their branch bases won't be master. Use ghstack land $PR_URL to land a ghstack'ed pull request.

This used to be because GH didn’t let you change the base, but apparently this API has started working so there is very little downside, we should do it
Yeah ok. IDK when I’ll get around to implementing this but I would definitely be happy to accept a PR that adds this as an option
