i'm used to the "pull request" workflow on github. It seems to me that the analogous workflow on GitLab would be the "Merge Requests".
I forked the Inkscape git repo into my personal GitLab account here: https://gitlab.com/fsanches/inkscape
Then I created a feature branch challed *variable_fonts* where I'll be working on the OpenType Variable Fonts feature.
But I also created a feature branch specifically for a single-commit merge request. The code itself is very very simple. The idea here is just to exercise the workflow. The branch is called *disable_libnrtype_debugging_code* and you can see it here: https://gitlab.com/fsanches/inkscape/commits/disable_libnrtype_debugging_cod...
Then I opened a "merge request", but it failed to give me any success screen. Once I tried doing it for the second time it gave me an error as can be seen on the attached screenshot. It says: The form contains the following error:
- Validate branches Cannot Create: This merge request already exists: ["Disable debugging code on libnrtype Layout-TNG-Compute at compile-time."]
But when I look at Inkscape's GitLab repo dashboard, I cannot see any mention on open merge requests. I'm a bit puzzled about it.
Did anyone receive an email notification about it ?
Happy Hacking, Felipe "Juca" Sanches
