Pull Request Workflow on GitHub
Open a pull request on GitHub, write a helpful description, respond to code review comments, and merge when approved.
What Is a Pull Request?
A Pull Request (PR) is a proposal to merge one branch into another. On GitHub, it creates a discussion thread where teammates review the code, leave comments, request changes, and ultimately approve the merge.
Creating a PR on GitHub
