Working with others

Pull requests, review and shared habits.

The usual flow

Branch from main, commit, push the branch, open a pull request, get review, merge. The pull request is where discussion and automated checks attach to the change.

  • Keep pull requests small enough that someone can actually read them.
  • Rebase or merge main into your branch before asking for review, so the diff is honest.

Habits that help

Pull before you start, commit in coherent steps, and write messages that explain why rather than what. The diff already says what changed.
