Pull requests and code review
Collaborate through pull requests on GitHub.
📖 Key ideas
- A pull request (PR) proposes merging a branch.
- Reviewers comment, suggest changes and approve.
- Describe what changed and why; link issues.
- CI checks run automatically on PRs.
- Squash, merge or rebase-merge when approved.
💡 Real-life example: A pull request is submitting your homework for the teacher's review before it goes in the final file.
