A pull request is when you are requesting for someone in your org, like an engineer, to look at your code, review it, and pull the changes in.
TL;DR
A pull request is when you are requesting for someone in your org, possibly a senior engineer, to look at your code, review it, and pull the changes in.
What is a Pull Request?
A pull request is a process in software development where a developer proposes changes to a codebase, typically in a collaborative version control system. It allows developers to review, discuss, and approve code changes before they are merged into the main branch.
On GitLab and Bitbucket, the same process is called a merge request, where developers propose, review, and approve changes before merging them into the main branch.
How are Pull Requests Processed?
When a pull request is created in GitHub, the developer is prompted to check the base and main branches to see how the flow works. The branch should be listed and the PR submitted against the main branch. GitHub displays a yellow bar with the "Compare & Pull Request" green button. Select the green button.
Once the required information has been filled in, the green "Create pull request" button is enabled so the PR can be submitted. A draft PR can also be created if the changes are not ready to submit, allowing teammates to review them.
After selecting the "Create pull request" button, a screen displays the pull request information, including the repository being merged into main, commits, file changes, and checks.
Once the pull request has been reviewed and tested, it can be merged into the main branch.
