Pushing Change and Opening Merge Requests

Select the branch dropdown and click Push.

You will be presented with a popup confirming the files with changes that you want to push up to Gitlab.

This will “push” the changes that you have made on your computer to GitLab, where they can be viewed/reviewed by others. Once the push is complete you will see the following message:

Now switch over to the GitLab UI in your browser and navigate to the appropriate repository. If you have just recently completed the above Push step you will be presented with a prompt asking if you would like to open a Merge Request. Click Open Merge Request.

Upon clicking Open Merge Request, you will be taken to the following page to fill in the details of your Merge Request. Add an appropriate title and short description of the change. Add Reviewers to look at your change – they will be the ones to approve your change to be merged into the live document and PAMMS website.

Once you have filled out all the required fields, click Create merge request.

You will then be taken to the open Merge Request. Here you can see the change that you are making and all the details that you entered in the step above.

If you need to get to your Merge Request later from the homepage for your repository, select the Merge Requests tab from the left sidebar.
