| Branch | A âbranchâ is an isolated space for your changes. |
| Commit | A âcommitâ is a snapshot of some changes at that place in time. |
| Push | A âpushâ is sending your changes to the remote repo. |
| Pull Request | A âpull requestâ is a request to merge your changes into the main branch. This is the time to review and test your changes with others on your team. |
