I have been chasing the gerrit code review high since I left a company that used it almost 5 years ago.

Stacked pull requests are usually what people point to to get this back, but this article points out that _just_ stacked pull requests don't handle it correctly. Specifically with github, you can't really see the differences in response to code review comments, you just get a new commit. Additionally, often github loses conversations on lines that have disappeared due to force pushes.

That said, I have a couple scripts that make it easier to to work with stacks of PRs (the git-*stack scripts in[1]) and a program git-instafix[2] that makes amending old commits less painful. I recently found ejoffe/spr[3] which seems like a tool that is similar to my scripts but much more pleasant for working with stacked PRs.

There's also spacedentist/spr[4] which gets _much_ closer to gerrit-style "treat each commit like a change and make it easier for people to review responses" with careful branch and commit management. Changes don't create new commits locally, they only create new commits in the PR that you're working on. It's, unfortunately, got many more rough edges than ejoffe/spr and is less maintained.
