Merge Request

GitLab's term for a pull request — a method of submitting code changes for review before merging into another branch. Functionally identical to GitHub's pull request.

Definition

Merge Request (MR) is GitLab's implementation of the collaborative code review workflow. Like pull requests, MRs allow developers to propose changes, discuss code, run CI pipelines, and get approval before merging. The term "merge request" emphasizes the action of merging code, while "pull request" historically refers to asking maintainers to pull your changes.

Warum es wichtig ist

Understanding MR terminology is essential when working with GitLab. The functionality is nearly identical to pull requests, but the workflow may differ slightly. Both facilitate code review, CI/CD integration, and collaborative development.

Beispiel

A developer working in GitLab creates a merge request from their feature branch to main. The MR triggers automated tests, receives reviewer comments, and after approval, is merged using the "Merge" button.
