I think it&#x27;s arguable either way, honestly. When you order a pizza, would you say it is a Pizza Request, a Toppings Request, a Transaction Request or a Request for Pizza with My Toppings Merged into the Default Configuration?<p>Pull Request makes sense to me, Merge Request makes sense to me too. To others, one may resonate more. Rosetta Stone posts like this can be helpful to people who are used to a particular vernacular, and I don&#x27;t think the semantic distinction is itself the point. Other than the Gist comparison (which I mentioned in another comment), I think this post was helpful.<p>It&#x27;s truly inspiring how _present_ Gitlab are in the communities they serve.
