Doesn't seem quite true, as `git request-pull` command exists since 2005.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoDo you see GitHub using that command? It's designed for email workflows and only spits out a message you can copy into an email to the maintainer. GitHub does not use email workflows.

- bheadmaster 4y agoYour original claim was that > the entire concept of a pull request is foreign to git which is incorrect, since the the concept already existed, but was simply > designed for email workflows Indeed, GitHub-specific pull-requests didn't exist before GitHub, but that's a tautology, isn't it?
- seba_dos1 4y agoIt's not. GitHub's idea of pull request is different than what `git request-pull` does, it just uses the same name, which causes confusion. For example, GitLab uses "merge request" to represent the same idea as GitHub's "pull request".
