+Lifecycle of a Pull Request 🙀 
+******************************
 
+:ref:`As mentioned before<set-up>`, Arrow project uses git for
+version control and a workflow based on Pull Requests. That means
+that you contribute the changes to the code by creating a branch
+in Git, make changes to the code, push the changes to you ``origin``
+which is your fork of the Arrow repository on GitHub and then you
+create a **Pull Request** against the official Arrow repository
+which is saved in your set up as ``upstream``.
 
-Creating a PR 🙀
