Git doesn’t need Pull Requests — so why do they exist?
Git already supports collaboration.
You can clone repositories, create branches, make commits, and merge changes — all without ever using a pull request.

In this video, we break down the real reason pull requests were created, how Git hosting platforms like GitHub and GitLab fit into the picture, and why collaboration at scale requires more than just Git.
If you’ve ever been confused about the difference between Git and pull requests, this will make it click.
Git manages history. Pull requests manage trust.
