GitHub Pull Requests

GitHub Pull Requests (PRs) are the core collaboration tool: they propose code changes from a feature branch (e.g., `feat/login-fix`) to a base branch (e.g., `main`) for review and discussion before final merge.

GitHub Pull Requests (PRs) are the foundational mechanism for collaborative software development, managing proposed changes between branches. A developer pushes code from a feature branch (e.g., `dev/issue-401`) to a remote repository, then opens a PR targeting the base branch (commonly `main`). This action initiates the review cycle: stakeholders, like Code Owners, review the file diffs, add line-by-line comments, and suggest specific edits. Once all automated CI/CD checks pass and reviewers approve (e.g., two required approvals), the PR is merged. This structured process ensures quality control and transparent change management across a project’s primary codebase.
