I’ve been working with kneath on this pretty much since the day we started at GitHub almost a year ago. Not full time but whenever we could steal time away from other projects. We’re both stoked to have finally shipped it.
I wrapped the original blog post draft with this sentence:
Pull requests elevate the collaborative aspects of development to creative works in their own right. We can’t wait to see where you take them!
We ended up striking it — a little too floaty for a product/feature announcement. I believe every word of it, though.
