NAME

glab-stack-sync - Push the stack to GitLab, and create or update its merge requests. (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS

glab stack sync [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Updates GitLab to match your local stack:

  • Creates a merge request for each diff without one, unless --skip-mr-creation or --skip-push is set. Each merge request targets the branch of the previous diff, or the base branch for the first diff.
  • Pulls changes made on GitLab, such as applied suggestions, into any diff whose branch is behind its remote.
  • If you amended a diff since the last sync, rebases the diffs after it. Then, unless --skip-push is set, force-pushes the stack's branches.
  • Removes diffs with merged merge requests and deletes their local branches. Keeps diffs with closed merge requests.
  • If you're working in a fork, asks whether to push to the fork or the upstream repository.
  • With --update-base, rebases the stack onto the latest version of the base branch. Then, unless --skip-push is set, force-pushes the stack's branches.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.

OPTIONS

-a, --assignee=[] Assign merge request to people by their usernames. Multiple usernames can be comma-separated or specified by repeating the flag.

-l, --label=[] Add label by name. Multiple labels can be comma-separated or specified by repeating the flag.

--no-verify[=false] Bypass the pre-push hook. (See githooks(5) for more information.)

--reviewer=[] Request review from users by their usernames. Multiple usernames can be comma-separated or specified by repeating the flag.

--skip-mr-creation[=false] Skip creating merge requests for branches that don't have one yet.

--skip-push[=false] Rebase the stack locally without pushing branches or creating merge requests. Still fetches from the remote and calls the GitLab API.

--update-base[=false] Rebase the stack onto the latest version of the base branch.

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.

-R, --repo="" Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.
