GitLab Issues

The Gitlab tool is used for the creation and management of Issues. Each Issue is created to track an update to one or more Policy updates. The Issues are then linked to a Merge Request to facilitate tracking and an update history.

For all new issues the title should start with the Program Initials and then the update reason or cause.

  • Naming Convention: [Program Initials] - [Update Reason]

  • Examples:

    • SNAP - Updates for MT 67

    • TANF - MT-76 Updates
