Noticed we throw around weird terms and jargon? Add things here as you learn them.


Land

Example usage

"We'll land that patch for you."

"Have you landed that patch yet?"

This means to put a patch into the main repository.


Modal

Example usage

"Clicking this portion of the UI will open a modal window"

"Make sure that section is modal"

A modal is a window that gets brought up in a UI situation, where the user must first interact with the child window before they can return to the original window. This is usually a pop-up, and involves the UI for the modal to be in focus, while the previous window is faded out or blurred in some way.
