Pull request vs. push to the default branch

Send to GitHub defaults to opening a PR branch; direct pushes to main require an explicit choice.

After a trusted build, Send to GitHub offers a branch workflow suited for review: DriftLess can open a pull request so your team follows normal code review.

Pushing directly to the default branch is available when you explicitly choose that path—treat it like any high-impact production commit.
