    Thanks for sharing. GitLab team member here.

    More GitLab push options are documented in https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/push_options.html

    You can also add a parameter to merge the merge request when the pipeline succeeds. This can be handy for quick fixes that do not require reviews, and avoids unnecessary context switches.

    # mwps BRANCHNAME

    alias mwps='git push -u origin -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=main -o merge_request.merge_when_pipeline_succeeds'

    Example from https://gitlab.com/sytses/dotfiles/-/blob/master/git/aliases... and https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/10/19/top-10-gitlab-hacks...

    If you prefer deeper CLI integration, suggest installing the GitLab CLI: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/editor_extensions/gitlab_cli/

    You can also set Git push options understood by the GitLab server to create merge requests [0] on the CLI.

    Sid's dotfiles provide an example in [1]. The workflow is 1) push 2) create merge request 3) set target (master/main) 4) merge when the pipeline succeeds.

    alias mwps='git push -u origin -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=main -o merge_request.merge_when_pipeline_succeeds' # mwps NAME_OF_BRANCH

    There are more push options, such as setting the MR as draft, add labels, milestones, assignees, etc. My personal favorite: Remove the source branch when the MR is merged. That's a project setting too, but sometimes not set. Using the push options, you can force this behavior and avoid stale Git branches.

    glab as CLI tool provides a similar functionality to create an MR. Its development has been moved to this project [2]
