Pull request
A pull request (PR) is a proposal to merge your changes in, so others can review them before they go live.
Think of it like
Submitting an edit for approval: “here are my changes, please review and pull them into the main version.”
Example
You finish a branch, open a pull request, a teammate reviews it, and then it merges into the main code.
Why it matters
Pull requests are how code gets reviewed and approved. They are central to working with anyone else on a project.
