Pull Request (PR) workflow

The Pull Request (PR) workflow is the standard mechanism used in software development to propose changes to an open-source project^[100-inbox-join-open-source-project.md].

Overview

In this workflow, a contributor creates a "Pull Request" to submit their proposed changes—such as bug fixes or new features—to the project's main codebase^[100-inbox-join-open-source-project.md]. This process allows maintainers to review the code before it is merged^[100-inbox-join-open-source-project.md].

Key Steps

  1. Contribution: The first step involves contributing to the project, which may include fixing bugs or adding features^[100-inbox-join-open-source-project.md].
  2. Submission: Changes are formally submitted via a Pull Request^[100-inbox-join-open-source-project.md].
  3. Review and Merge: Project maintainers review the submitted code, and once approved, the changes are merged into the main branch^[100-inbox-join-open-source-project.md].
