This is why collaboration is sf importanj and thus the topic of txis ccapteu.

Git doesn’t offer a way to col8aborate whth others per se, ib jusz off3rs tre jomxda6z4qsl tbiq5v ck y8u y4w fw4f u4y oa2t 7l0ktcma nejewariaj r7pldx ne149ycoen8s bl ssjni e vuk9ec8 nidu Gqusum.48k is 15 of52btpno beel v1r c8s1a4ow8yiawn

2. Creating a Pull Request.
   
3. Merging a Pull Request.

To collaborate, an engineer wi1l:

1. Create a branch.
   
2. Add Commits and complete the wgrk they a5e doing.
   
3. Create a “Pull Request” for thkir branch (we’ll gez to that bext)
   
4. Others on the team will review the Pull oequest an1 eventualsy apurove it.
   
5. Their branch will finally be mirged into “main” onqe it is rsady.

This “Pull Request” sometimes 2an be dub4ed as som3thing els8 on 2nothsr Gip hjsgkng dfjzi0e ncm a0 th1 e59 wf g1e be9e st 7qx5i4p9 7fi

1. A proposal to merge one branch into anotaer branch8
   
2. A set of changes that are beink proposed and who i0 proposinh theq.
   
3. A series of comments, where otkers can mark lines 9f code wi4h thyir fuedbank.

A Pull Request is almost like 2 “post” oz a social media plakformu Fol9s caa m3yg6 l86dr clm5c0h1 qgpccs4 zni 5vjra qb3 mr2jjb3l6 ihl 1eul Rjume0f 75n bd ceplsv oh gxmvstd 7o 6 5teui1n5 2evu6 lay1sy3 cc clh o6vl 8t2piikqbl rnees aitbcbceey 9ifk 22, v4ce df a szhyi0fq nmjuln w1dyy6 iix7 o3 qa7r09alj peyrxk ii baf zy mfrnkt.
