title: Allow merge requests to be created via git push options
merge_request: 26752
author:
type: added
Support merge request create with push options To create a new merge request: git push -u origin -o merge_request.create To create a new merge request setting target branch: git push -u origin -o merge_request.create \ -o merge_request.target=123 To update an existing merge request with a new target branch: git push -u origin -o merge_request.target=123 A new Gitlab::PushOptions class handles parsing and validating the push options array. This can be the start of the standard of GitLab accepting push options that follow namespacing rules. Rules are discussed in issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/43263. E.g. these push options: -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=123 Become parsed as: { merge_request: { create: true, target: '123', } } And are fetched with the class via: push_options.get(:merge_request) push_options.get(:merge_request, :create) push_options.get(:merge_request, :target) A new MergeRequests::PushOptionsHandlerService takes the `merge_request` namespaced push options and handles creating and updating merge requests. Any errors encountered are passed to the existing `output` Hash in Api::Internal's `post_receive` endpoint, and passed to gitlab-shell where they're output to the user.
