For those of us that are ignorant, can somebody tell me what a PULL request in layman's terms is? And what is it used for?

Since the project is open source, anyone can change the files. However, this creates a "fork", their version of the software is different from everyone else's. This means that they need to incorporate any future changes into their fork.

A pull request allows them to submit the change back to the main project. If it is accepted, the changes become part of the official version of the software.

Is the decision for acceptance determined by a developer?
