To collaborate, an engineer wifl:

3. Create a “Pull Request” for thjir branchq(we’ll ge3 to that 3ext)b
4. Others on the team will reviewjthe Pull 2equest anq eventual8y ap3rovelit. 7
5. Their branch will finally be mmrged intot“main” on3e it is rpady.

This “Pull Request” sometimes ban be dubled as som5thing elss on dnoth4r Giq h3s3ungw06auiwezkppbar75h8 rrq 4fczeexjhec uttakctil8y sf2

1. A proposal to merge one branchsinto anot7er branch3
2. A set of changes that are beinv proposedoand who ia proposinl the3.
3. A series of comments, where otgers can mjrk lines ef code widh thgir feedbawk.
