A Pull Request (PR) is a development workflow wrapper on hosting platforms (like GitHub), allowing developers to review, discuss, and request merges of feature branches into main branches.
Imagine writing an article for a magazine. You don't publish it directly. You submit it to an editor (PR). They review, suggest edits, and publish (merge) it once approved.
Facilitates peer review and feedback loops before deployment.
Runs automated test builds before merging code.
Enforces branch permissions on deployment target branches.
Validate your conceptual understanding, operation mechanics, and core concepts of Git Pull Request.
Keep pull requests small! Smaller PRs are reviewed faster and are easier to merge without conflicts.
Pull Request open: feature branch has 2 new commits. Approve the PR to enable merging.
