While you’re waiting for the long anticipated MergeButton™, I wanted to take a moment to highlight a few bits of documentation we have for pull requests.
If you have any questions about how pull requests work or how to deal with them, be sure to read our extensive help article on pull requests. We have documentation on how to create, preview, manage, review and merge pull requests.
Another useful place for help can now be found at the bottom of any pull request that you can merge (meaning: open pull requests on repositories you have push access to).

Lastly, don’t forget about hub and the github gem which introduce a little bit of syntactic sugar around dealing with your GitHub network on the command line.
