  Push vs. Pull

  on Congressional Rep Makes A Pull Request On GitHub, Which Is Then Merged By US Gov't CIO
  It's not a push, it's a pull, but that's a common mis-conception, usually found when people are coming from centralized version management systems.
  
  In Git, push actions are done to put changes into a local, decentralized, system, and pull requests are used to move from one decentralized system to another.
  
  White House has repository A.
  Connolly forks/clones A to make repository B.
  Connolly makes changes, and pushes those changes into repository B.
  Connolly then issues a pull request to the white house, asking them to pull changes from repository B to put into repository A.
