Q: How deeply does 100 SQL Server Mistakes and How to Avoid Them cover pull request?

Explains the Git-to-GitHub workflow from commit and push through review and merge, while deferring deeper Git and GitHub topics.

As explained in 100 SQL Server Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

A pull request is a proposal to review changes from one repository branch and merge them into another branch.

A pull request proposes reviewing changes from one repository branch before merging them into another, such as the trunk. The practical mistake is treating a remote-branch push as the merge itself: pushing changes displays a link for creating the request, while a repository contributor still reviews and merges the changes. section 7.6.1

Use this workflow when changes need review:

Save the changed artifact, stage it in the Git Changes window, add a commit comment, and commit the staged change. section 7.6.1
Push the commit to the remote branch with the up-arrow button. section 7.6.1
Follow the Create Pull Request link to GitHub, then request contributor review and merging into the trunk. section 7.6.1
