glab: View a pull request in the default web browser.
$ glab mr view --web ${pr_number}
try on your machine

The command "glab mr view --web ${pr_number}" is used to view a Merge Request (MR) in GitLab's web interface.

Here's a breakdown of the different components:

  • "glab" refers to the GitLab CLI tool, which is a command-line interface for interacting with GitLab.
  • "mr" stands for Merge Request, which is a feature in GitLab that allows for reviewing and merging code changes.
  • "view" is the action to view a Merge Request.
  • "--web" is an option that tells the command to open the Merge Request in the web interface rather than displaying it in the command-line.
  • "${pr_number}" is a placeholder for the specific Merge Request number you want to view. This should be replaced with the actual number of the Merge Request you want to see.

To use this command, you need to have the GitLab CLI tool (glab) installed and configured with your GitLab instance. Once executed, it will open the specified Merge Request in your default web browser, allowing you to review its details, comments, and make any necessary changes or merge it.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
