Read Review and Merge the Pull Request


Now - final step Back to our role as contributor… We created our own pull request, that hopefully another participant (or ourselves) has reviewed

Let’s take a look, by going back to our repository, and looking at our own pull request, and looking at the review We should now consider the review, and any observations or suggestions made At this point, we could go ahead and make any needed changes But, for simplicity, and assuming their review is positive (and they don’t suggest more changes are required) We can go ahead and merge the pull request into our codebase By selecting ‘Merge pull request’, and then “Confirm Merge”

So now, our change has been integrated into our codebase

QUESTION: Who’s read the other participants’ review of their PR, and merged it? Yes/No

Housekeeping


But - there’s a bit of housekeeping we should do The pull request branch is no longer needed, everything’s been merged So let’s keep a tidy repository and delete the branch If we go to our repo’s main page, and select ‘branches’ We can delete our pull request branch
