Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help me understand what merges, pull requests, and related terms mean, and how to use them?

I want to contribute to small tasks, but I came across all these terms that I'm not familiar with, which made me hesitant to move forward. Any guidance or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

The code for Exercism tracks, tooling, and the website are all in repositories on GitHub. GitHub is based on and adapts a source control program called Git, which is used to manage changes to code and documentation not only on GitHub, but on developer machines, professional development environments, GitLab and a bunch of other places.

To learn more about Git and GitHub, you can start here: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-git/about-git and https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/about-github-and-git
