Overview
Push, fetch, and pull coordinate repository state. Pull requests coordinate human review.
Without synchronization, developers work from different versions. Without review, branch changes can enter main without a shared inspection point.
The combination supports a controlled collaboration loop:
- Develop and commit locally.
- Push the branch.
- Open a pull request.
- Compare and discuss changes.
- Merge after review.
- Pull the updated main branch locally when needed.
This keeps the central branch more stable because changes are visible before they are accepted.
