Pull requests<\/b> let you notify others about changes you’ve pushed to a repository on GitHub. Once a pull request<\/b> is opened, you can discuss and review the potential changes with collaborators and add follow-up commits before the changes are merged into the repository. The following guide will explain how to create a pull request<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
