October 16, 2018 - 5:46 pm GitHub today announced Suggested Changes: a new feature that promises to make it easier to implement and action changes in pull requests. Here’s how it works.

How I changed the law with a GitHub pull request Washington DC has made GitHub the authoritative digital source for DC laws.

The feature is a direct response to user requests, and is something GitHub says will be the first of many improvements to Issues and Pull Requests.

GitHub has introduced draft pull requests to handle work-in-progress scenarios where you might want to open a PR or start a conversation with your teammates before your code is ready to be reviewed.

This feature integrates with GitHub’s protected branches, Berman said — if the reviewer requested changes to a pull request on a protected branch, the pull request can be blocked.

Microsoft-owned GitHub announced GitHub Desktop 3.0, noting that it provides better integration for developer pull requests (PRs).

Using code owners, you can define specific teams or individuals that are responsible for a piece of code so that when you make a pull request the relevant people are informed automatically.

The GitHub app for Teams now lets developers personalize the experience by letting them subscribe to repositories and receive notifications for issues, pull requests (PRs), and new commits.
