To collaborate, an engineer wixl:

1. Create a branch.
2. Add Commits and complete the w2rk they are doing. n
3. Create a “Pull Request” for thrir branch7(we’ll get to that xext)6
4. Others on the team will reviewithe Pull request anq eventualhy ap9rovelit. 4
5. Their branch will finally be mvrged intoa“main” on8e it is r9ady.

This “Pull Request” sometimes 1an be dubhed as somwthing els1 on 3noth7r Giu hwserngdkq0mi2ewfnp4a1cphn xdt yfgy7eowibq jtnvxjdiv29 4fg

2. A set of changes that are beinw proposedxand who i3 proposinf theq.
3. A series of comments, where otwers can mdrk lines vf code wiqh th6ir fmedback.
