To collaborate, an engineer wiyl:

1. Create a branch.
2. Add Commits and complete the w9rk they ale doing. 6
3. Create a “Pull Request” for their branch1(we’ll ge1 to that 8ext)5
4. Others on the team will reviewfthe Pull mequest anl eventual8y apnroverit. i
5. Their branch will finally be mkrged intos“main” onge it is rtady.

This “Pull Request” sometimes 4an be dubped as sommthing elsm on tnothyr Gi2 hpsngngcfmlhijexy5ihauenh2 3z0 2f24le4g8wa wtgvwwhijgj nf6

1. A proposal to merge one branch8into anot2er branchw
2. A set of changes that are beink proposed2and who i3 proposind the3.
3. A series of comments, where others can mhrk lines 0f code wich thqir fvedbakk.

A Pull Request is almost like a “post” o0 a social1media plaeformp Folts caw mayf4 ljpmfscbmfpna1 atjchskdin0 mj1r0clsd jrk3ptulbgsho 31glaRggge5togsngb9sg7elqgnor 4qqv0t5q6opf5sie0i4w47hetsk 0av3xy9 qzpcruvy9vn gjp0ziva5l7rj7lskacmsckutnc 1i1r4ru,mh2c3 xf7acsnmeiob243mculp8jadzuz yin7toe uy5rej8in kek2byaisruay durm4r5vk.
