No, you can send a *request* to Rich, via GitHub, to pull from your  
repository. That's what a git pull *request* is - it's a request for  
someone else to git pull. A 'git pull' is, as you say, the command to  
pull commits into your repository and apply them, but that's not what  
Rich is talking about here.

A common GitHub workflow is to fork someone's repository, clone your  
fork, push your changes to your GitHub fork, and then send a pull  
request to the owner of the 'canonical' repository that you forked  
from, asking them to pull certain commits from your fork.
