What problem does it solve?

This skill creates a GitLab Merge Request (MR) for the current branch by using the glab CLI and sets the MR title to the first commit message on the branch, streamlining merge workflows in GitLab.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated MR Creation: Generate a GitLab MR with a meaningful title derived from the first commit message.
  • Branch Workflow Support: Ideal for feature branches targeting main, enabling one-step MR creation during code reviews and release prep.
  • Use Case: After finishing a feature on a new branch, run this skill to open an MR in GitLab using the first commit message as the MR title.

Quick Start

Ensure glab CLI is installed and authenticated. Get the first commit message: git log main..HEAD --reverse --format="%s" | head -n 1 Create the MR: glab mr create -t "<FIRST_COMMIT_MESSAGE>" -d "<SUMMARY_OF_WHAT_HAS_BEEN_DONE>" -b main --fill -y Push the branch if not pushed: git push -u origin <branch>
