Opening a Pull Request

Opening a Pull Request from a Feature Branch

For issue #2, Sam branches from main, adds an ?author= clause to app.js, a test and a README line (14 tests pass), pushes the branch and opens the pull request, with its description in a file:

GitHub 29 answers a new branch with a link to its compare page (the remote: lines). Number 7 follows the six issues, which share the sequence. The base (main) receives the change and the head carries it. --fill takes title and body from the commits; --web finishes in the browser. Keep a pull request small and about one thing: reviewers read 200 lines carefully and skim 2,000.
