Pull Request - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A pull request proposes merging changes and triggers the CI checks and reviews that gate the merge.
A pull request is a proposal to merge changes from one branch into another. On GitHub it opens a review thread and triggers CI checks that must pass before merge.
