I'm pretty sure the term "pull request" existed before GitHub. (Meaning writing an email saying "I have changes in my copy of repo that I want you to merge into the main repo".) But GitHub put an UI around it, and they may've been the first to do that.
- globular-toast 1y agoCan confirm. Pull request is something Linus talks about in the early days of git before he even acknowledged the existence of GitHub.
