Can we take a step back here and ask what point you are trying to make?

A user (who wasn't you) called me out for talking about GitHub instead of git, and I said it was perfectly fair because the original discussion was specifically about sending pull requests, which is a term we only talk about in 2024 because GitHub made it a thing. Therefore, it's entirely fair to discuss it in the context of GitHub and not git.

Now we are five posts down into this bizarre tangent and I am unsure what point, if any, you are trying to raise here. That people now use the term pull requests when not using GitHub? I don't think I've seen it anywhere except for hosted services, but my experience is not universal.

We don’t have to rehash things. Let’s chalk it up to me getting some wires crossed. (It took me until writing half of the original reply to realize. Hah!)
