@dgkeyes Its a great way to discuss with your collaborators what your changes are before you merge and potentially kybosh their work. Fosters good practice of "packaging" your work. Even for a 1 man repo, it gives you a place to document the big changes (commits are for the small changes)

Something I've never understood about GitHub: why would you use a pull request vs just merging code in a repo when you have full admin rights?

A q for #TidyTuesday & #dataviz twitter:
Does anyone has some recommended resources for learning the fundamentals of design (i.e. colour theory etc.)?
I have a distinct lack of knowledge in the area (stats major & science kid here) & I want to put some effort into learning it
