What is a CL?

Change list, essentially equivalent to a PR. Gerrit also uses them so it's a good place to check for the differences (squashing of commits into single CL for example)

CL stands for change list.

It's the unit of change that goes through code review (so for the context of that document I think the best translation to the git world is PR).

Though it's not exactly a PR, a CL is also a single change in the change history (so you could also say that a CL is equivalent to a commit)
