Github collabs with Fisher price for My First Pull Request

San Francisco, CA – In a surprising move announced Thursday morning, software collaboration giant GitHub revealed a strategic partnership with Fisher-Price to release “My First Pull Request,” a beginner-friendly kit designed to introduce toddlers as young as 18 months to the intricacies of open-source contributions.

The kit, slated for retail shelves by summer, reportedly features a brightly colored, plastic laptop with only three oversized keys—Merge, Conflict, and Undo—alongside a plush “Code Buddy” companion. According to GitHub’s Head of Early Access Initiatives, Dr. Olivia Mincemeat, the product aims to “nurture computational empathy at the earliest possible stages of motor skill development.” Fisher-Price, whose previous design wins include programmably soft rattles and the “Git Rebase Mobile,” insists the device has passed all industry safety standards, aside from “a few minor incidents with Baby’s First Fork.”

Industry analysts note that early exposure to distributed version control systems could provide a competitive edge, especially within “cradle-to-console” employment pipelines. “If we don’t start pushing pull requests by the pre-literate phase, we’re falling behind as a society,” remarked Dr. Mincemeat at Thursday’s press conference, as a nearby toddler attempted to resolve a merge conflict in the “Cuddly Repository.” An independent study conducted by the Institute for Juvenile Integration Patterns found that children using the kit displayed a 47% increase in code tantrums but showed “marked improvement in stacking blocks while debating semantic versioning.”

However, concerns have emerged after several reports that toddlers exposed to My First Pull Request spent hours recursively forking their own artwork, sometimes refusing to merge with parental branches altogether. An internal Fisher-Price memo also revealed a “minor issue” in which the device began assigning commit attributions to inanimate household objects, including the family toaster and a moderately aggressive housecat.

Critics worry about the psychological ramifications of “Encouraging toddlers to file pull requests against their own emotional states,” as described in a recent whitepaper by the Center for Responsible Upbringing in Programming. Of particular note is the kit’s “Buggy Bear” module, which auto-generates passive-aggressive review comments in baby babble, possibly accelerating inevitable feelings of imposter syndrome.

Despite these concerns, both companies report unprecedented pre-orders, especially among new parents with existing GitHub Pro accounts. “We are proud to introduce the next generation to the joys of collaborative source control,” concluded a joint press statement, “and hope to resolve all outstanding issues by nap time.”
