Teams collaborating on code rarely just push changes straight in — there's a formal ritual for asking someone else to review it first.
A Pull Request is a formal request asking a teammate or maintainer to review a set of proposed code changes before they get merged into the main codebase, serving as the gate where peer review happens prior to changes going live. It's the central ritual of collaborative code review culture, letting other developers catch mistakes, suggest improvements, or approve the work before it becomes part of the shared project.
Sending public-relations material and setting a personal record are both plays on the letters 'PR' but have nothing to do with the actual software development meaning of the term.
Pull Requests have taken on new relevance in the AI era, since some workflows now involve assigning an issue directly to an AI coding agent and receiving a completed Pull Request back, with a human still reviewing it through the same process as always.
