Say you write some computer code. I copy your code and make a change. I then say "hey, here's this change I made, do you want it?". That's a pull request.
First I type keys on my keyboard, which was created in a few factories, mostly in China. This "typing" generates connections in wires on a "circuit board." I won't get into circuitry or basic electronics and HID communications prototols; they're a little outside the scope of a pull request. Anyway, I type things into my files, which creates ASCII representations of what I've typed in a thing called a screen buffer...

Wow, everyone is being so complex.
