These are all just terms for slightly different perspectives on the same thing. Like diff is the summary of changes in a commit. the person who wants to affect the change submits a pull request. Another person reviews the pull request and decides whether or not to merge their code into the main codebase, etc. It's all the same thing from different perspectives.
- gibolt 4y agoThe content is the diff (including description/test plan), which I'd argue should be the name. It could be in a draft state, awaiting review, accepted for merge, or being merged. 'diff' is the shortest at most descriptive name.
- erik_seaberg 4y agoWhen I hear “PR” I think of a tree of git commits. When I hear “diff” I think of one set of squashed text changes, for a tool that doesn’t support git.
