Gitlab

GitLab instance: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/

GitLab has a similar functionality set compared to GitHub. A GitHub Pull Request is analogous to a a GitLab Merge Request. Below is a quick cheat sheet for getting productive with GitLab


Notifications

  • Global notification settings are in your profile: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/profile/notifications
  • Group notificaton settings are also in your profile
  • To "watch" a project, go to that project page. The notification bell at the top left can be changed to watch.

Contributing code

While project committers can commit to the repositories directly, contributors must use Merge Requests (MR). In fact, project committers can (should?) also use the Merge Request model to trigger code review.

There are many methods to trigger a Merge Request. They are all described here: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/gitlab/-/issues/25
