Git syntax for pull request on the command line

Question

I see documentation here: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull

But I'm not sure how to apply it to what I'm trying to to do. I pushed to branch called "fix/fixNumberHere" and I want to merge to a branch called "mergeBranch" using a pull request -- how to do I apply that to :

 git request-pull [-p] <start> <url> [<end>]

I think you would use this syntax:

git request-pull mergeBranch origin fix/fixNumberHere
                 ^^^ start   ^^ url    ^^^ end

I think more typically most Git users would create a pull request directly on the remote, e.g. if they were using something like GitHub or BitBucket.
