Remotes and Pull Requests

A remote is the server copy of the repo (usually origin). Core commands:

  • git clone <url> — copy the repo locally
  • git pull — fetch and merge remote changes (fetch + merge)
  • git push — send local commits to the remote
  • git fetch — fetch changes without merging (for inspection)

A Pull Request (PR / Merge Request) is the formal proposal to merge your branch into main: code gets reviewed, CI tests run, and it merges after approval. Test code deserves review just like product code.

A good PR: small (one purpose), clearly described (what + why + how to verify), with green CI. As a reviewer: phrase questions as curiosity, not accusation ("Could this wait be condition-based?"). As an author: don't take comments personally, respond to each.
