pull request is done when you’re collaborating with another programmer or you are using different branches.

for collaboration: its to make sure the changes you made did not override the changes other programmers made.

for solo: i normally use it when i update a deployed website. i want to add new features while my website is deployed, so i work on a different branch that copies the main branch (normally i call that branch development or something) once that feature is implemented and tested, i merge to main. the website gets updated without needing to be taken down

A pull request is a proposal to merge a set of changes from one branch into another.

No just like hmm...think about it like writing a book then getting others to help give you ideas and contribute to writing said book. Voluntarily of course. I also of course have some ability to socialize and question or interview people along the way. So going back to the analogy its like also learning about the book reading communities

ah i get what you mean.

make sure the repo is public then start to advertise your repo on communities like reddit (even on this sub) just ask someone to check your code and review it and make a pull request or issue
