Creating and submitting a merge request - The basics (HD)

To incorporate changes from a source branch to a target branch, you use a merge request (MR).

If your development workflow requires an issue for every merge request, you can create a branch directly from the issue to speed the process up. The new branch, and later its merge request, are marked as related to this issue. After merging the merge request, the issue is closed automatically, unless automatic issue closing is disabled. You can see a Create merge request dropdown list below the issue description.
