About Gitlab MR
VS Code - Gitlab MR
VS Code extension for working with Gitlab Merge Requests, supporting both Gitlab.com and Gitlab EE/CE servers.
Features
- Supports both Gitlab.com and Gitlab CE/EE servers.
- Configurable default remote (e.g.
origin) and branch (e.g.master).
Create MR
Create an MR from VS Code by providing a branch name and commit message.
Workflow
- Open the command palette and select Gitlab MR: Create MR.
- First, input the name of the branch you want created for this MR. If you are not on your default branch, the current branch name will be autofilled (providing a different branch name will result in a new branch).
- Next, provide the commit message for the changes. If nothing is being committed, the last commit message will be autofilled (providing a different commit message will only impact the MR).
- If the new branch is different from your current branch, the new branch will be created and checked out.
- If the current branch has uncommitted changes, you will be asked if you want to commit the uncommited changes.
- The branch will be pushed to the remote specified as
gitlab-mr.targetRemote(defaults toorigin). - An MR will be created to the branch specified as
