Summary - Pull request

Combine the PR flow to merge a branch into the main branch.

The complete pull request workflow

The pull request workflow allows changes from a working branch to be brought into the main branch in a controlled way. First push the branch to the remote repository, open a PR on GitHub, and submit the changes for review. Once the review is complete and the required approvals are obtained, the PR can be merged.

git push -u origin feature-login

# GitHub:
# New pull request
# Review changes
# Merge pull request

This workflow helps teams develop code through review instead of pushing changes directly to the main branch.

Exercise Complete the PR workflow

Push the feature-profile branch to the origin remote. Then write the lines identifying the source and target branches for opening a PR on GitHub. Also include the review decision and merge action.
