gitlab-auto-mr 0.1.1.post2

A simple tool for automatically creating merge requests in GitLab

GitLab Auto MR

This is a simple Python script that allows you create MR in GitLab automatically. It is intended to be used in CI/CD as a Docker image. However you can use it as a separate Python library if you would like. An example CI using this can be found here.

It is based on the script and idea of Riccardo Padovani, which he introduced with his blog post How to automatically create new MR on Gitlab with Gitlab CI. Thanks for providing this.

This package was intended to be used by GitLab CI hence using environments provided by the GitLab CI. You can however use it as a CLI tool if you would like.

pip install gitlab-auto-mr
