From YouTube: Submitting a Merge Request using GitPod

Description

Submitting a Merge Request using GitPod for GDK

A

Okay, welcome back to video number three. In the previous video, we ran an individual spec. We ran this spec called uh alert spec, which is in the alert management models folder, and you can see it's got a whole lot of green dots which indicate that all of these specs these tests have actually run correctly.

A

So what we're going to do now is we're going to make a a change to this spec and then we're going to push it up to our forked repository and we're going to see how that runs in the ci. So the first thing we need to do is check what branch we're on.

A

We're on master okay, so I've actually got to get pod demo branch there. But what I'm going to do is create a new.

A

One okay, then we're going to just change something um in this case, we'll change. This spec it'll actually fail now, um so we commit it.

A

And now we'll just push it upstream now, because we didn't indicate the branch off it goes.

A

Interesting, I'm not sure why we receive that error. Okay, so over we go to our main reaper. Now remember this is a fork. So it's under my my name go in.

A

A

And here's our branch that we just pushed, we create a match request.

A

So normally we would put in a lot of details about this particular merge request. Let's submit.

A

A

We can see the change and, as you can see, we are now back on the main gitlab repo, and here I am sean carroll. It's my first contribution and off we go. I've got an email from gitlab, isn't that nice and for some reason, oh yes, the pipeline is now running okay, great, so the pipeline is running.

A

uh This will take some time and eventually we will see that the test fails, at which point we can correct it and push it through again. Okay, that's great! That's how to submit a merge request to gitlab thanks very much.
