> Merge Request (MR): when a programmer submits proposed changes to a project in a structured way. This makes it easy for anyone to see the differences and review the changes. Sometimes called a Pull Request.

Ok, maybe I’m in a bubble, and my job is only coding-adjacent, but I’ve literally never heard a PR called an MR until today. Is this a new thing?

Merge Request is what Gitlab calls a Pull Request: https://docs.gitlab.com/development/contributing/first_contr...

I'm more familiar with that term as I use Gitlab more than Github.

Indeed. I think I'll add a note that PR is GitHub.

Not only do I use GitLab more often in my org, but I genuinely think the term itself is more precise. I can be a bit of a stickler for vocabulary.

It’s all I heard in 2011 when I first entered the corporate world.
