Create "Pull request" in Sourcetree for Gitlab

Question

I tried to create pull request in Sourcetree, but it asked me to set Remote Project Configuration. To set remote configurations, I searched through internet, and found this. It said, it supports Stash, BitBucket and GitHub.

My question is, is there any possibility to create pull requests in Sourcetree for the remote, Gitlab? If Yes, how to do enable pull request for Gitlab in Sourcetree?

Answer 1

You can find the relevant Jira in,

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-1845?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel

and you can create a Merge Request instead of PR by following,

https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/merge_requests.html#create-mr

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/add-merge-request.html

Answer 2

As a workaround, you can go to your gitlab web instance, where you would normally create a merge request, such as this:

https://gitlab.mydomain.com/web/nushopweb/merge_requests

Copy the url and set it as a Stash type host with # or ? appended so that SourceTree doesn't redirect you to a 404 page.

Then, when you press "Create pull request...", it will open a browser window with gitlab's merge requests and if you have just pushed your branch, it will immediately allow you to create a pull request.

The resulting URL might look like this, which is perfectly OK as the part after # is somewhat "ignored".
