How to raise GitLab "Merge Request" from Visual Studio 2022?

Answer 1

I think there are two ways:

1. Use the "GitLab Extension for Visual Studio"

2. Via git

As far as I know GitLab supports creating an MR automatically via a specific command line flag. You can set this up as an alias so that every time you push from Visual Studio, an MR is drafted.

So you would basically do something like:

git config --global alias.push-mr "push -o merge_request.create"

And then you would use the terminal to:

git push-mr
