This is a lightning talk that I created and presented to the tech community at work. I thought I would share it on Youtube too. It was made in less than 2 hours so it's full of quickly-taken screenshots and low-tech graphics, but hopefully it gets the point across. It's about two different methods that people can use when reviewing a pull request with Git, and why I would advocate for one over the other. I've seen both review methods used interchangeably, but this example demonstrates the difference between them.
