You have the right idea about pull but you're mixing up pull and pull request. Pull is a git verb that means to get code from another location. A pull request is asking someone else to get my changes. So for an example, if you found a bug in some open source software you used you could make a change in the code that fixed it and then file a pull request with the original author of the software. This asks them to incorporate your changes.
