 # FILL THINGS OUT BELOW THIS LINE AND DO IT IN MARKDOWN
 
 ## Working definition of Git and what it's done for
 
+> Git is a version control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people.
+
+Long story short, Git is a collaborative platform, somewhat like the Google Doc (not working exactly the same way though), specifically designed for programmers.
+
+> It is primarily used for source code management in software development, but it can be used to keep track of changes in any set of files.
+
 ## What do you think the top 3 reasons to use GitHub / GitLab are?
-1. 
-2. 
-3. 
+1. Collaborate with other programmers within the team
+2. Contribute to open source softwares
+3. Safe for development as `git` keeps track of all file history
 
 ## What is a Pull Request?
 
+Pull Request is a mechanism for you to take part in other people's code, usually a repo that you don't have push privilege to. It allows you to change some line(s) of codes in the repo, having discussion with the owner of the repo, and raising up potential issues etc.

+*Screencast submission* - [ZL's Lab2 Video](https://youtu.be/cMdzLb08Q1I)
+
+In this week's lab, we learned about version control, and to be more specific, how to use `git`, including `clone`, `push`, `pull` features, and how to make a *Pull Request*. This is a very useful tool since teamwork is a key element of software development at present and GitHub is the most popular platform where all these collaborations happen.
+
+It is also very interesting to see how Pull Request functions being very handy while a lot of people still don't know. I was trying to figure out such function during my summer internship and GitHub's own documentation on this was not clear at all (at least to me, blah). So I think it's probably a good idea for me to make a video on this as well and hopefully this can help someone who's in need to learn this and couldn't figure out from the documentation.
+
+And for the purpose of practicing `markdown`, refer below for the terminal commands I used in my video:
+
+<pre>
+> git clone <i>link to your repository</i> 
+</pre>
+
+<pre>
+> cd <i>directory location of your local repository</i> 
+</pre>
+
+<pre>
+> vim README.md
+</pre>
+
+<pre>
+> git status
+</pre>
+
+<pre>
+> git add .
+</pre>
+
+<pre>
+> git commit -m "<i>commitment message</i>"
+</pre>
+
+<pre>
+> git push
+</pre>
+
+<pre>
+> git pull
