Manage Merge Requests

Status icons on the Merge Request page provide information that helps you manage merge requests. Also, you can use the Custom Search page to list merge requests based on custom search criteria, and to close multiple merge requests.

Icons in the Merge Request list provide visual clues about the status of each merge request:

  • The Status column indicates Open, Merged, and Closed merge requests.
  • Merge requests with issues that require attention – such as those not updated in the past 3 months (Stale), or missing a repository – are flagged with a red exclamation point icon next to the merge request name.
  • Repositories that no longer exist are indicated with a strike-through of the repository name in the Repository column.
  • Merge requests that have not been updated in the past 3 months are flagged with a Stale icon in the Changed column.

You can use the Custom Search page to close multiple merge requests:

  1. In the left navigator, click Merge Requests Merge Requests.
  2. Click Custom Searches, then use the boxes at the top of the Custom Search page to fine-tune your search. To save the search for future use, click the Settings icon, then click Save As. On the Save As dialog, enter a name in the Search Name box, then click Save As.
  3. Use the check boxes at the left of the Merge Request column to select one or more merge requests. Next, click the Actions icon () and select Close Selected.
  4. On the Close Selected Merge Requests dialog, type in a reason for closing the merge requests. Optionally, select Resolve all linked issues to resolve all linked issues for the merge requests. Select the confirmation check box (I understand that the <n> merge requests will be closed), then click Close.
