Work with Pull Requests
Pull requests are used in open-source projects or in some corporate workflows to manage changes from contributors and to initiate code review before such changes are merged.
By creating a pull request, you tell others about the changes you want to push to the original repository, so that the maintainers of that repository can review your changes, discuss them, and integrate them into the base branch.

Alternatively, open the Pull Requests tool window and click

Click the name of the source repository on the right. In the popup that opens, specify the branch that contains the changes you want to apply.
