Git Pull Request
A pull request (PR) asks the owners of a repository to review the commits on your branch and merge them into another branch, usually main.
Pull requests are a feature of the hosting site, not of Git itself. GitLab calls them merge requests. You push a branch with Git, then open the pull request on the site.
