GitLab Merge Requests

The Gitlab tool is used for the creation and management of Merge Request for all Git Branches. Each Merge Request is created to merge a Git Branch and tracks all Policy updates made on that Git branch. The Merge Request should always be linked to the associated GitLab issue to facilitate tracking and an update history.

The Merge Request contains a record of all commits pushed for a specific branch. This allows for all the changes to be tracked, reviewed, and be approved and automatically maintains a historical record of all changes.

Naming Standards

For all new Merge Requests the title should start with 'Resolves -' and then the name of the Issue to be resolved.

  • Naming Convention: [Resolves] - [Issue to be resolved]

  • Examples:

    • Resolves - SNAP - Updates for MT 67

    • Resolves - TANF - MT-76 Updates
