GitLab merge request example

Wondering how to do a GitLab merge request? In this Git tutorial we create a merge request from a feature branch, choose a merge request assignee, and then log back in as the assignee to perform a merge request review and finally a GitLab merge request approval. In this GitLab example we try and stick with the GitFlow branch management strategy. In future examples we will show how to merge with release, hotfix and master branches as well.

Thanks for watching! Just trying to keep things simple and straight forward.
I did a full Git and GitLab tutorial for a more in depth look at branching and other GitLab topics. Check it out!

Best Tutorial 😍

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks for the kind words. Maybe not the best, but hopefully short and to the point, which may be just as good. :)

Interesting how you blindly approved the request without checking what exactly was changed... Would be cool if you shared some example when maintainer found some issues with request and leave some comments on it!

Hi Great Video. Question. Do you know if we can have a "Merge Request" option/button in Visual Studio (2022) if we use GitLab & Visual Studio? Thanks.

Hello dear, excellent tutorial and that I do not speak English, I have understood it perfectly. I have some doubts, maybe you can help me understand. If I do the merge request from gitlab, don't I need to do a merge in my local git on my laptop? Just after approving the merge request in git lab, I go back to my laptop and pull the branch that was remotely merged? And finally, should I get rid of my develop branch or can I keep it and push it again if I have deleted it?
I hope you can answer me, I take this opportunity to greet you and thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to send mail using postfix installed on a private gitlab-runner in the gitlab cloud and smtp configured. The problem is I'm not able to run
script:
- mail -a "Content-type: text/html" -s "Snyk Code Review - $CI_COMMIT_TITLE" $GITLAB_USER_EMAIL < snyk_results.html
When it is
script:
- 'mail -a "Content-type: text/html" -s "Snyk Code Review - $CI_COMMIT_TITLE" $GITLAB_USER_EMAIL < snyk_results.html'
It gets skipped. Any ideas ?

GitLab so lame...where are MR approvals!?

[@cameronmcnz]

Agree with the MR approvals part. Not going to agree with the lame part though. Give it time.
