You pull when you want code from their repo, they pull when they want code from your repo. You don't have permission to push to their repo, so instead you request that they pull from yours.
- yCombLinks 3y agoThey already have my branch though! I had to push it to them before I could request they pull it!
- Ajedi32 3y agoNo you pushed it to your own GitHub repository. So they need to pull from your repository into theirs. Though I agree the situation is somewhat muddied by the fact that you can create pull requests for branches in the same repository (even though that's not the normal workflow). GitLab's "merge request" terminology is more accurate for that use case.
- yCombLinks 3y agoAhh, for me it's pull requests into the central work repo, not GitHub. That is different.
