Yeah, first thing I have to explain to git newbies is that a pull request is really effectively a merge-request.


I'm pulling the changes you've made into my (upstream?) repository. It's not the best name, but it makes sense. Maybe I've been using Git for too long.

I found fetch/rebase/merge to be more difficult to wrap my head around (and I still can't do an interactive rebase/squash)


Well, we're using TFS git, where you aren't forking repos on the origins, but for familiarity's sake MS calls the code-review process of merging a feature branch into dev a "pull request".


OT: VSO or self hosted? How's that working out for you? I can't use VSO at $EMPLOYER due to BlueCoat doing something very odd to the credentials in the HTTPS request - haven't able to track that down. Note that it also breaks BitBucket - 401/403 no matter what the password is.


Self-hosted. The web UI for code reviews and approvals seems pretty nice, although we're really just getting started. A lot of my stuff is still on tfsvc.
