Review pull requests

Collaborate and work together on GitHub.

Welcome

All great projects start with collaboration. Pull requests are the foundation of teamwork on GitHub — and pull request reviews give you the ability to work together and discuss changes specific to a pull request by commenting, requesting changes, or approving.

• Who is this for: Developers, new GitHub users, users new to Git, students, managers, teams.
• What you'll learn: When and how to request a review; how to provide a review of someone else's pull request.
• What you'll build: We'll be reviewing a pull request for a simple game.
• Prerequisites: We assume you are familiar with creating branches, commits, and pull requests—you can learn this in our Introduction to GitHub course.
• How long: This course takes less than 30 minutes to complete.

In this course, you will:

1. Open a pull request
2. Assign yourself
3. Leave a review
4. Suggest changes
5. Apply changes
6. Merge your pull request
