The new code is developed in a private workspace, and when the developer(s) think it is ready to incorporate into the shared repository they issue a pull request, to "pull" the changes from the private workspace into the main. This triggers a review process where bugs are found and fixed, and eventually a concensus is reached as to whether the code will be included in the main repository.
