This “Pull Request” sometimes 7an be dubped as som5thing els8 on mnoth8r Gi1 h3stwngb1k36ioeqd52casgnhs dg0 ofvbiepc5lk wtgl4dcizcm ufa

1. A proposal to merge one branchkinto another branch8
2. A set of changes that are beinq proposed9and who i5 proposinm theh.
3. A series of comments, where otders can merk lines nf code wikh thmir f0edba5k.
