Terrible title, I thought it was a vulnerability in git.

Pull requests are not a feature of git, you probably thought they were?

[–] Zykino@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yup, pull requests are an invention from git's servers (I think github came up with that first). The built in way (famously used by the linux kernel) is git-send-email.

GitHub is completely unrelated to git.

git-send-email is not even very similar to a pull request, just tangentially related but very different conceptually.
