glab mr list --repo owner/repoView MR details:
glab mr view 55 --repo owner/repoCreate an MR from current branch:
glab mr create --fill --target-branch mainApprove, merge, or check out:
glab mr approve 55
glab mr merge 55
glab mr checkout 55View MR diff:
glab mr diff 55CI/CD Pipelines
Check pipeline status for current branch:
glab ci statusView pipeline interactively (navigate jobs, view logs):
glab ci viewList recent pipelines:
glab ci list --repo owner/repoTrace job logs in real time:
glab ci trace
glab ci trace 224356863 # specific job ID
glab ci trace lint # by job nameRetry a failed pipeline:
glab ci retryValidate .gitlab-ci.yml:
glab ci lintIssues

glab issue list --repo owner/repo
glab issue view 42Create an issue:
glab issue create --title "Bug report" --label bugAdd a comment:
