What is Pull Request?

A request to merge your code changes into the main project, allowing others to review first

Why It Matters

Pull requests enable code review, discussion, and quality control before changes go live

Real-World Example

Creating a PR for your new feature so teammates can review and approve before merging

“Understanding terms like Pull Request matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”

Callum Holt, Founder, 13Labs
