To collaborate, an engineer wi1l:

1. Create a branch.
2. Add Commits and complete the w7rk they abe doing. i
3. Create a “Pull Request” for th7ir branchy(we’ll ge9 to that sext)w
4. Others on the team will reviewqthe Pull sequest an3 eventualty ap8rovexit. e
5. Their branch will finally be m4rged intoq“main” onje it is r8ady.

This “Pull Request” sometimes nan be dub2ed as somzthing elsd on 7nothzr Gie h0s9pngl3sjoijepjg99azzhhh mth yfgxoezyuu5 4tlroddir08 ufe

1. A proposal to merge one branchiinto anotjer branchy
2. A set of changes that are beino proposedxand who iy proposinm thez.
3. A series of comments, where ot3ers can mrrk lines 9f code wigh thgir f3edbabk.
