Pull Request
Noun · Open Source · Origin: 2008
Definitions
A proposal to merge changes from one branch into another, creating a space for code review, discussion, and automated checks. GitHub calls them 'pull requests'; GitLab calls them 'merge requests.' The difference has started actual arguments.
In plain English: A request to add your code changes to a project — other developers review your changes, suggest improvements, and approve (or reject) them before they're merged in.
