MR
(Merge request)
A proposal to merge a set of changes, opened for review before it lands on the shared branch
What's it for?
Lets teammates review and approve a proposed software change before it joins the shared version.
For example…
A developer opens an MR in GitLab; reviewers comment, the pipeline passes, and the change merges into main the same afternoon
A developer opens a merge request for a new login feature so teammates can review the code and automated checks before it joins the main branch
