First Gitlab guided CLI to create your merge request from terminal
Don't change anymore context to open a merge request 👨🏻‍💻

Install

$ npm install -g gitlab-merge

Usage

Create your configuration file. gitlab-merge uses cosmiconfig for configuration file support. This means you can configure cca via:

• A .gitlab-mergerc file, written in YAML or JSON, with optional extensions: .yaml/.yml/.json.
• A gitlab-merge.config.js file that exports an object.
• A "gitlab-merge" key in your package.json file.

The configuration file will be resolved starting from the root of your project, and searching up the file tree until a config file is (or isn't) found.

{
  "api_link": "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/",
  "private_token": "XXX"
}

Launch from terminal:

$ cd ~/my-projects
$ gitlab-merge

Configuration

Currently supported options are:

Option	Description
api_link	Mandatory Api link of the gitlab host
private_token	Mandatory Your private token generated from gitlab. Where can I generate the private token?
project_id	Optional Project id for the destionation of the merge request. If you don't set the project_id in the configuration file the tool at the beginning fetch ALL the list of the project hosted to the api_link provided. Where can I find the project id in Gitlab?
