Is there a purpose for using pull requests on my own repo if I am the only developper?

Workflows

So I got started with a real project of mine on GitHub and things are going pretty well and ideas are flowing a lot faster than I initially thought. In order to keep things organized, I setup some branches so I can develop different features separatly.

Now when I push my branch to GitHub, I have that section where I have two buttons : Pull Request and Compare with the name of the branch I recently pushed to. I understand the purpose of the Compare button but I don't get why I would want to create a pull request on my own repo.

Can someone explain me why I would do that? Is it useful to make pull request on my own repo if I am the only developper?
