Code Review and Teamwork

In the previous chapter, we merged branches locally on our own machine. That works, but in a team setting you rarely merge directly into main. Instead, you create a merge request (called a pull request on GitHub - same concept, different name).

A merge request is a proposal to merge one branch into another. It gives your teammates a chance to review your code, leave comments, suggest changes, and approve the work before it becomes part of the main project. This process is called code review
