Integrate GitLab and Submit the Merge Requests
ZenTao Open Source Version 15.5 has added the function of creating Merge Requests in GitLab.
Merge Requests (MR) are the foundation of GitLab as code collaboration and version control, as well as a way to check source code changes into branches, allowing visualization and collaboration on code changes before merging.
- When working on a Git-based platform, you can use branching strategies to collaborate on code.
- Branching is especially important when collaborating with others, it can help avoid pushing changes directly to the default branch without prior review, testing, and approval.
- When creating new feature branches, changing files, and pushing them to GitLab, you can optionally create an MR to merge one branch into another.
- The branch to which you add changes is called the source branch, and the branch to which you request to merge the changes is called the target branch.
- The target branch can be the default branch or any other branch, depending on the branching strategy you choose.
- Assign MR to colleagues for review.
- Select Assignee to designate someone to be responsible for the first review of the merge request.
Next, we introduce the specific use of integrating GitLab and submitting merge requests in ZenTao.
Before creating a Merge Request, you need to make sure that the GitLab server is added under the GitLab of DevOps, and the zenTao user and GitLab user have been bonded together.
1. Create a Merge Request
Click on the DevOps -- Merge Request page, and the Create button in the top right corner.
In the Create Merge Request page:
- GitLab: Choose a GitLab server address.
- Source project and source branch: Fill in the name of the project and branch whose code needs to be merged.
- Target project and target branch: Fill in the project name and branch name of the project to which the merged code is to be merged.
- Assignee: A list of ZenTao users who have bound GitLab accounts. If no user is assigned to the list, you need to go to the GitLab list for user binding.
Successfully created MR can be viewed in the merge request list.
2. Edit and delete an MR
MR can be edited and deleted through the Edit and Delete buttons to the right of the merge request list.
When editing a merge request, you can only edit the branch name of the Target Project, Name, Description, and Assignee.
3. Details of the merge request
After an MR is created, its status can be viewed in the merge request list.
Merge status is all open after an MR is successfully created. Merge status includes "can be merged", "can't be merged", ''merged', ''checking'', and "closed".
When the merge status in ZenTao is not the same as the status in GitLab, you can manually refresh the merge request list page or wait for the background synchronization. The background is synchronized every 5 minutes.
3.1 Can be merged
When you click to view the details of the MR, the button Accept Merge request is displayed, and you can directly click to complete the merge request.
3.2 Can't be merged
When there are no new commits or there are conflicts, it is displayed as "can't be merged automatically".
If there is a conflict, you can manually merge through the prompt command, and the merge request will be automatically passed after the manual merge.
3.3 Merged
Merged successfully.
3.4 Checking
After the merge request is submitted, GitLab will compare the differences between the two branches to check whether it can be merged, so there will be a temporary state of "checking", and you can refresh the current page to view the GitLab check result.
4. Create a backlog of merge requests for assignees
After the merge request is created successfully, a to-do of the merge request is created by default for the assignee.
The assignee can view the merge request in GitLab by clicking the link in the backlog of the merge request.
View the merge requests in GitLab and make a response.
