Can I use this skill to create draft merge requests?

Absolutely. You can use the --draft flag during the creation process to ensure your work is visible to the team but protected from accidental merges.

Do I need the GitLab CLI installed for this skill?

Yes, this skill relies on the official 'glab' CLI tool to interact with your GitLab repositories and perform MR actions.

Does it support stacked diffs?

Yes, the skill includes guidance and patterns for using 'glab stack' to manage a sequence of small, building-block changes.

How does the auto-fill feature work?

By using the --fill flag, the skill automatically populates the merge request title and description based on your branch's commit messages.

Collaboration Tools

Manages GitLab merge requests via the glab CLI to streamline code reviews, branch management, and team collaboration.

About

The GitLab Merge Request skill enables Claude to interact directly with GitLab repositories using the official glab CLI. It simplifies the end-to-end MR lifecycle, including creating merge requests from pushed branches, listing open MRs, checking out code for review, and merging completed work. By formalizing best practices like push-before-create workflows and draft MRs, this skill helps developers maintain a clean and efficient collaborative environment while supporting advanced patterns like stacked diffs for incremental changes.

Key Features

Integration with stacked diff workflows for managing incremental changes
Support for draft MRs to prevent premature merging of work-in-progress
List and view detailed information for existing merge requests
Create merge requests with auto-filled titles and descriptions from commits
Seamless branch checkout and merging directly from the terminal
5 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Reviewing peer code by quickly listing and checking out active MR branches
Automating the transition from local feature development to a formal GitLab merge request
Managing complex PR chains using stacked diff patterns for better code modularity
