@jules32 Thanks so much for all of this. I got a bit confused by the terminology 'pull request' when i created a branch here. Is that pullilng into Main? Im used to seeing 'Create Merge Request'.

@CraigFaunce-NOAA the TLDR is that they are the same thing.

“. . . GitHub and Bitbucket choose the name “pull request” because the first manual action is to pull the feature branch. Tools such as GitLab and others choose the name “merge request” because the final action is to merge the feature branch.”
