> So you think

The OP said:

"we also ask the candidate to open a PR"

So I think the OP meant to have the candidate, um, open a PR. Which is not the same thing as making a commit and pushing it to a remote. Maybe you always conflate those operations, but that doesn't make them the same operation. If the OP actually meant that they ask the candidate to make a commit, push it to the remote, and then open a PR, I would have expected the OP to say, um, all of those things, instead of just the last one.

I couldn't say how the OP expected the candidate to open a PR, since I don't know what their standard workflow is. There are ways of doing it from the CLI, as well as through the web interface, as well as through various IDEs.

Please save your patronizing for another time. And stop trying to put words in my mouth.
