Create GitLab merge request from cli

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Do not push your branch before the following commands. If you push your branch before it will not work. Git response is going to be Everything up-to-date and the merge request will not be created.

Push my-branch to the remote repository and create a new merge request from our branch to the main branch of the project.

git push -o merge_request.create origin my-branch

Push my-branch to the remote repository and the target branch work with the merge request title <title> and a merge request description <description>, setting the merge request to remove the source branch when it’s merged:

git push \
 -o merge_request.create \
 -o merge_request.target=work \
 -o merge_request.title="<title>" \
 -o merge_request.description="<description>" \
 origin my-branch
