IntelliJ IDEA: GitLab Merge Requests

IntelliJ IDEA has support for reviewing and merging GitLab merge requests. These features are available if the IntelliJ IDEA project has a remote that points to GitLab.
We can see the list of merge requests, and filter or search the list to find a specific merge request and open it to see the details. We can see which files were changed and open the changes in the diff viewer, and see the timeline for a merge request including actions and comments. We can see whether a reviewer is assigned (or assign one if needed), add comments on the merge request, check out the code, see if checks have passed and there are no merge conflicts, and merge the merge request all from inside IntelliJ IDEA.

For more information, take a look at:

Glad to see GitLab getting some love from the Jetbrains team!

Thank you JetBrains Intellij team for adding GitLab support.

When will we be able to "create" a MR directly from the IDE? Thx

[jonasandero]

Can one configure notifications so that one detects updates to merge requests without leaving IntelliJ? Still need to monitor my email inbox...

[zokirjonqodirov]

hope will see this awesome feature in Android Studio soon

[nilson_nieto]

What about if it's private gitlab instance? Is there any way to activate it?

[lorenzrosenthal]

You are the best!! <3
But how can I jump to comments?

[andreww]

Is there an option to add a comment to Review (PENDING comment)?
And also an easy way to give 'code suggestion'?

Can We get merge request connecting to gitlab via ssh keys and not using https.

[AndreaIppolitoIppo]

Doesn't work for me unless I add the remote via https. I'd much rather stick to ssh tho.
Is it possible to address this problem?

[MaikelSouza]

In my case, I have four projects where I added it's how "Module From Existing Source", but shows only the first module in the tab Merge Request. Is it not possible to change de project in the tab Merge Resquest?

[PentarexBG]

Is the merge option only available for the owners of the merge request? I am assignee and reviewer, but no owner and i do not see merge button after i review the request. Only submit review, request review or close request.

P.S. In the gitlab page, i have the option to merge it

[akkadaya-s]
