SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing multiple interdependent merge requests across complex features can become error-prone and time-consuming. This skill provides a structured workflow to coordinate stacked MRs, track dependencies, and streamline reviews and merges in GitLab via the glab CLI.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create and manage a stack of related merge requests to deliver multi-part features with clear dependency ordering.
Synchronize, rebase, and publish stacked changes across branches to keep MR states consistent as the base evolves.
Use case: Coordinate a feature split into frontend, backend, and docs MR sequences, ensuring reviews and merges happen in the correct order.

Quick Start

Use glab stack to create and manage a stack of merge requests for multi-part changes.

FAQPage Schema

What is a stacked merge request workflow in GitLab?▼

A stacked merge request workflow coordinates multiple interdependent MRs to deliver multi-part features with clear dependency ordering. It tracks dependencies across branches to streamline reviews and merges in GitLab via the glab CLI.

How do I manage dependent merge requests in GitLab?▼

You can manage dependent merge requests by using the glab CLI to create, sync, and reorder a stack of linked MRs. This ensures reviews and merges happen in the correct order as the base branch evolves.

Can I use glab to synchronize stacked branches across repositories?▼

Yes, glab supports cross-repo coordination for stacked MRs. You can synchronize, rebase, and publish stacked changes across branches to keep MR states consistent as the base evolves.

How do I reorder or move merge requests within a stack?▼

You can reorder or move merge requests within a stack using the specific glab stack commands. The skill orchestrates these actions end-to-end, allowing you to switch, sync, and amend linked MRs.

Does the glab stack command support experimental features?▼

Yes, the glab stack functionality handles its experimental status while managing MR stacks end-to-end. It supports commands like create, amend, move, reorder, and sync for complex multi-PR scenarios.

What is the best way to split a large feature into multiple merge requests?▼

The best way to split a large feature is creating a structured stack of related merge requests using glab. This coordinates frontend, backend, and docs MR sequences, ensuring reviews and merges happen in the correct order.
