The command "glab mr update" is used to update an existing merge request in GitLab using the GitLab CLI (Command Line Interface).
In a GitLab project, a merge request (MR) is a way to propose changes to be merged into the main branch. It allows team members to review and discuss the proposed changes before they are merged.
The "glab mr update" command is used to update the details of an existing merge request, such as the title, description, target branch, or reviewers. It can be useful if you need to make changes or provide additional information to a merge request after it has been created.
To use the command, you will need to have the GitLab CLI tool "glab" installed on your system and be logged in to a GitLab account. The specific syntax and options of the command may vary based on the version and configuration of the "glab" tool you are using.
For example, you might use the following command to update the title of a merge request with ID 42:
glab mr update 42 --title "Updated Title"
This command will update the title of the merge request to "Updated Title". You can modify other aspects of the merge request similarly by providing the appropriate options and values.
It's important to note that only authorized individuals with appropriate permissions can update merge requests in GitLab. Additionally, be cautious when updating merge requests as it can impact the ongoing review and collaboration process.
