Merging a PR

In this lesson we will see what happens when we merge a pull request.

Now that we finished all the changes we wanted to make and the PR is validated, we should probably let others in our team review the changes so that knowledge is spread. We’ll skip that part because I assume you know how to review code, but also because we’ll explore that in more detail later when we discuss GitChat principles. So, we’ll skip code review and proceed with the merge of the pull request to the master branch.

Merging the PR to the master branch

Please open the pull request screen in GitHub (unless you already have it in front of you) and click Merge pull request, followed by the Confirm merge button.

You already know what happens when we push or merge code into the master branch, so we’ll just relax for a moment or two while we watch the activity of the newly initiated build.
