Pull Requests

Now that you've worked on your own feature, how do you share your code with your team? You make a pull request!

All students should follow these next steps.

Create a pull request

Run git push -u origin feature-X to push the changes to a remote branch, replacing X with your letter.
In your browser, navigate to the main repository page on GitHub.
Go to the Pull requests tab.
Click on the New pull request button.
Select main in the base: dropdown.
Select feature-X in the compare: dropdown, replacing X with your letter.
Add a title and description for your pull request. This is usually a brief summary of what you worked on. In this case, you can write something along the lines of "Completed feature X".
Click the Create pull request button.

Review a pull request

You will be able to see all pull requests when you navigate to the Pull requests tab. The next step in the process is for someone to review the open pull requests.

Student B

Navigate to the Feature A pull request.
When you review a pull request, you should leave comments, ask questions, or provide suggestions to the requester. Leave a comment like "Looks good to me!" on the pull request.
Approve the PR and merge it in by clicking the Merge pull request button.
Confirm that feature-A has been merged into main by navigating back to the repo's Code page. The README should now contain the text that Student A added.
What happens to the PR for feature-B and feature-C? If you see a message about conflicts, then you're on the right track!
