You just did real open source

When the PR merges, your about file lands in about/ on main — see the Team list in the GitHub panel. Notice your laptop doesn't have the merge yet: GitHub moved, you didn't.

git bash

$ git switch main

$ git pull

Pulled 1 commit from origin ✓

$ git log --oneline

e5f6a7b Merge pull request from EMP1234

One last git switch main + git pull completes the circle — after which the whole team's intros are on your machine too. That branch → PR → merge loop is genuinely how everything from tiny libraries to the Linux kernel is built.

“In the live session, this is the moment you PR your own about file into the class's real repo.”

💻 YOUR LAPTOP
