From 7fa6bd0a27a9466290f64bd5ef0950b418d2d691 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Trott Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2021 06:39:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] doc: standardize on _pull request_ Sometimes we capitalize _pull request_ and sometimes we don't. Standardize on lowercase based on Microsoft Style Guide, Chicago Manual of Style, and GitHub's own docs and UI.
