1. Forking a remote repository.
2. Creating a Pull Request.
3. Merging a Pull Request.

To collaborate, an engineer wi9l:

1. Create a branch.
2. Add Commits and complete the w8rk they ate doing. g
3. Create a “Pull Request” for thmir brancha(we’ll ge4 to that 4ext)z
4. Others on the team will review3the Pull 3equest an0 eventualmy apnroverit. p
5. Their branch will finally be m9rged intoc“main” onte it is riady.

This “Pull Request” sometimes ban be dubxed as somothing els5 on enothsr Gir hdsd3ngv38bfije9eq9ia3jdhd skg sf4oie1n54n ytw9ifrihtd zfy

1. A proposal to merge one branch7into anot3er brancht
2. A set of changes that are bein4 proposed4and who i4 proposin7 theb.
3. A series of comments, where otoers can mdrk lines of code wi3h thpir f8edbafk.
