Our Goal: Parts of a Pull Request

In this lesson, you will learn about the different parts of a Pull Request page on GitHub. This is like learning the parts of a car so you know what each part does. You will find and understand what these four parts do:

  • The title and description
  • The 'Commits' tab
  • The 'Files changed' tab
  • The conversation area

Get Ready to Look

For this lesson, you will be looking at the Pull Request page you made before. Go to that page on GitHub in your web browser.

Take a moment to look at the page. Try to find the four parts we talked about: the title, the 'Commits' tab, the 'Files changed' tab, and the conversation area. We will learn about each one next.

Learn About Each Part

Now, let's learn about each part of the Pull Request page:

  1. Title and Description: This is at the top. It tells everyone what your Pull Request is about and what changes you made.
  2. 'Commits' Tab: Click on this tab. It shows you all the 'saves' (commits) you made on your special branch. It's like a list of all the steps you took.
  3. 'Files changed' Tab: Click on this tab. This is where you can see exactly what lines of code you added, changed, or removed. It helps others see your work clearly.
  4. Conversation Area: This is where people can talk about your changes. They can ask questions, give ideas, or say if they like your work. It's like a chat room for your code!

Check Your Work Again

You've learned about the parts of a Pull Request! Now, think about what you learned.

Ask yourself:

āœ… Can you find the title, 'Commits' tab, 'Files changed' tab, and conversation area on a Pull Request page? āœ… Can you explain what each of these parts is for?

If you can do these things, you did a great job!
