What Is the Difference?
Pull Request in Bitbucket and GitHub or Merge Request in GitLab are the features made for more convenient code review and change management.

In essence, the requests are simply short messages to other developers describing the changes made to a branch. Sending it will ask your colleges to review the changes before merging them.
