🤓 Quick note: Easy rebasing with GitLab
Sometimes you just want to merge your branch, but it got out of sync with the main branch. Rebasing can be annoying, especially if you have to check out the branch again locally when all you want is just to merge your MR.
Luckily, GitLab makes this super simple, but it's not super obvious in the UI.
All you need to do is write a comment that includes the command /rebase
and GitLab will rebase the branch for you. It usually works, but the requirements are spelled out on GitLabs documentation.
Other useful quick actions include:
/approve
to approve a MR/close
to close a MR/draft
to set the draft status/merge
to merge
Hopefully this makes your life easier :)
