GitLab Quick Actions

  • 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 textual shortcuts for common actions on issues, epics, merge requests, and commits that are usually done by clicking buttons or dropdowns in the GitLab UI. You can enter these commands in the description or in comments of issues, epics, merge requests, and commits. Each command should be on a separate line in order to be properly detected and executed.

Quick Actions for issues, merge requests and epics

/clear_weight Clear weight. (STARTER)
/clone <path/to/project> [--with_notes] Clone the issue to given project, or the current one if no arguments are given (introduced in GitLab 13.7). Copies as much data as possible as long as the target project contains equivalent labels, milestones, and so on. Does not copy comments or system notes unless --with_notes is provided as an argument.

/create_merge_request <branch name> Create a new merge request starting from the current issue.
/done Mark to do as done.
/draft Toggle the draft status.
/due <date> Set due date. Examples of valid <date> include in 2 days, this Friday and December 31st.

/iteration *iteration:"iteration name" Set iteration. For example, to set the Late in July iteration: /iteration *iteration:"Late in July" (introduced in GitLab 13.1). (STARTER)
/label ~label1 ~label2 Add one or more labels. Label names can also start without a tilde (~), but mixed syntax is not supported.

If there are merge conflicts, GitLab displays a message that a rebase cannot be scheduled. Rebase failures are displayed with the merge request status.

Autocomplete characters

Many quick actions require a parameter, for example: username, milestone, and label. Autocomplete characters can make it easier to enter a parameter, compared to selecting items from a list.

Quick actions parameters

The easiest way to set parameters for quick actions is to use autocomplete. If you manually enter a parameter, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks ("), unless it contains only these characters:

  1. ASCII letters.
  2. Numerals (0-9).
  3. Underscore (_), hyphen (-), question mark (?), dot (.), or ampersand (&).

Parameters are also case-sensitive. Autocomplete handles this, and the insertion of quotation marks, automatically.

Quick actions for commit messages

The following quick actions are applicable for commit messages:

Command Action
/tag v1.2.3 <message> Tags this commit with an optional message
