@mcc@mastodon.social Thank you!

I'm used to them now, of course, but when Git[Hub] was just taking off I assumed for the longest time that, like, you had to have a server the project maintainer could reach and that a "pull request" was asking them to thus do a pull from your server. And therefore that if "pull requests" were how you contributed to a project, then if you didn't have a setup like this you should just get lost, because that must be a sign that you aren't Serious Enough about open source software.

@klara@wandering.shop @mcc@mastodon.social as far as I understand it, this was the original workflow, used by the kernel devs

of course, nobody else has ever done this

@mcc@mastodon.social @r@glauca.space @klara@wandering.shop usually, but for larger changes they use pull requests over email. see man git-request-pull
