Pull Requests

Overview

Being a distributed version control manager, GitHub allows the feature of creating pull requests through which we can share our changes committed to a branch with the contributors. These contributors can then review and add comments for any feedback or changes. The changes can be addressed by adding follow-up commits to that branch. We can also add descriptions of the proposed changes, add labels, add reviewers and assignees, and mention people. Additionally, we can review comments or commits made in that branch in chronological order. Once finalized, the reviewers then approve these changes, and then that branch is merged into the base branch.
