- A pull request is an event in Git where a contributor(developer) asks a maintainer(Project Manager, Senior Developer/Code Reviewer) of a Git repository to review code they want to merge into a project.
- Developer made changes on feature-1 for a project, after development , he create pull request to merge the commit on master,Dev branch(Project Main branch contains stable code)
- Then contribution able to see the pull request in the github repository pull request section/tab
- He will review and merge the pull request
Example :
Developer -1 :
–> Changes Made on Feature-1 with commit-1,
–> once the changes are verified by testing/checking it,
–> we merge the feature-1 branch commit-1 on master
–> because we need to add the feature on main project (which is master/dev)
–> If it’s our own project we can directly merge
–> But in industry, Project repository owners , Administrators are Team Lead or Senior Developers
–> We need to submit our code to them, they will verify and
–> Merge the code to the respected branch
