Merge Requests

Merge requests allow you to exchange changes you made to source code

Checkout merge requests locally

Locate the section for your GitLab remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
  url = https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Now add the line fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/merge-requests/* to this section.

It should look like this:

[remote "origin"]
  url = https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
  fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/merge-requests/*

Now you can fetch all the merge requests requests:

$ git fetch origin
From https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
 * [new ref]         refs/merge-requests/1/head -> origin/merge-requests/1
 * [new ref]         refs/merge-requests/2/head -> origin/merge-requests/2
...

To check out a particular merge request:

$ git checkout origin/merge-requests/1

Ignore whitespace changes in Merge Request diff view

MR diff

If you click the "Hide whitespace changes" button, you can see the diff without whitespace changes.

It is also working on commits compare view.
