A pull request allows developers to notify team members about changes they have made in a branch of a repository. It is a request to review and merge these changes into another branch, often the main branch.
When a developer finishes a feature or bug fix, they create a pull request to share their code. Team members can then review the code, suggest modifications, or approve it for merging.
This process helps maintain code quality and collaboration among team members, ensuring that changes are thoroughly vetted before becoming part of the main project.
Example
