GitLab quick actions (FREE)
- Introduced in GitLab 12.1: once an action is executed, an alert appears when a quick action is successfully applied.
- Introduced in GitLab 13.2: you can use quick actions when updating the description of issues, epics, and merge requests.
- Introduced in GitLab 13.8: when you enter
/into a description or comment field, all available quick actions are displayed in a scrollable list.- The rebase quick action was introduced in GitLab 13.8.
Quick actions are text-based shortcuts for common actions that are usually done by selecting buttons or dropdowns in the GitLab user interface. You can enter these commands in the descriptions or comments of issues, epics, merge requests, and commits.
Be sure to enter each quick action on a separate line to allow GitLab to properly detect and execute the commands.
Parameters
Many quick actions require a parameter. For example, the /assign quick action
requires a username. GitLab uses autocomplete characters
with quick actions to help users enter parameters, by providing a list of
available values.
If you manually enter a parameter, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks
("), unless it contains only these characters:
- ASCII letters
- Numbers (0-9)
- Underscore (
_), hyphen (-), question mark (?), dot (.), ampersand (&) or at (@)
Parameters are case-sensitive. Autocomplete handles this, and the insertion of quotation marks, automatically.
