Using Visual Studio 2022 with GitLab & "Pull Request"

Question

Hi. We will be using Visual Studio 2022 with GitLab. I believe i have seen on many web pages and YouTube videos that this combination can have a "Pull Request" option, but I don't see the option/button, either on the Git Menu or Team Explorer with my installation. How can i get this option? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
The more i look, the more i realize that it is probable a VS2022 + GitHub combination, that is why the say "Pull Request".
It would probably say "Merge Request" for a VS2022 + GitLab combination.
Does this mean that the "Merge Request" for a VS2022 + GitLab does not exist?
Is there no way to get this? Any extensions that would work?

This is one of the places I saw it:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/pull-requests?view=azure-devops&tabs=visual-studio

Thanks again.

Answer 2

I think the GitLab Extension doesn't work with Visual Studio 2022.

Answer 3

Thank you. Are you aware if Microsoft is working to add the "Merge Request" for Visual Studio for GitLab like it has for GitHub?
