A pull request, a.k.a. merge request, is a request by a user to merge a branch into another branch. [118] [119] Git does not itself provide for pull requests, but it is a common feature of git cloud services. The underlying function of a pull request is no different than that of an administrator of a repository pulling changes from another ...
The contributor requests that the project maintainer pull the source code change, hence the name "pull request". The maintainer has to merge the pull request if the contribution should become part of the source base. [12] The developer creates a pull request to notify maintainers of a new change; a comment thread is associated with each pull ...
In 2012, the Gentoo Linux project created a fork of udev in order to avoid dependency on the systemd architecture. The resulting fork is called eudev and it makes udev functionality available without systemd. [122] A stated goal of the project is to keep eudev independent of any Linux distribution or init system.

The LTP is a joint project started by SGI, developed and maintained by IBM, Cisco, Fujitsu, SUSE, Red Hat and others. The project source code was migrated to git and is available on GitHub. [2] The LTP aims to test and improve Linux. The LTP provides a suite of automated testing tools for Linux as well as tools for publishing the results of ran ...

Travis CI is configured by adding a file named .travis.yml, which is a YAML format text file, to the root directory of the repository. [6] This file specifies the programming language used, the desired building and testing environment (including dependencies which must be installed before the software can be built and tested), and various other parameters.
The Linux kernel project decided to use Git rather than Mercurial, but Mercurial is now used by many other projects (see below). In an answer on the Mercurial mailing list, Olivia Mackall explained how the name "Mercurial" was chosen:
The repository keeps track of the files in the project, which is represented as a graph. A distributed version control system is made up of central and branch repositories. A central repository exists on the server. To make changes to it, a developer first works on a branch repository, and proceeds to commit the change to the former.
