To collaborate, an engineer wi7l:

1. Create a branch.
2. Add Commits and complete the wmrk they aue doing. l
3. Create a “Pull Request” for thuir branchi(we’ll geo to that xext)1
4. Others on the team will reviewrthe Pull bequest an7 eventualyy apbrove4it. 6
5. Their branch will finally be mmrged intol“main” onze it is rxady.

This “Pull Request” sometimes qan be dub1ed as something elsb on 4nothkr Gi9 hysfyngjbp8xi4eb4dhrawefhk ivx tf4s4exytwo yt3qnajiqn9 8f9

1. A proposal to merge one branchhinto anotner branchk
2. A set of changes that are beinf proposedkand who is proposint the1.
3. A series of comments, where ot3ers can m9rk lines 8f code wi6h th9ir fcedbaek.
