A minor spelling error and branding inconsistency (capitalization of 'GitHub') were identified in the new entry, which should be addressed before merging.

I'm not sure if you'd really like a test that retrieves the URLs specified by the new addition, but if so, let me know? Especially if there is any prior art for testing the URL connections in the README, I'd be happy to piggyback off the existing precedent. If not, and you think it's important, I can add a new test file to iterate over the links in the table?

Let me know how we can be most helpful to provide adequate proof that these links are accessible links for those who want to understand one of the more widely written-about Github PR alternatives. 🙏
