Active development of the plugin is done here: https://github.com/omrisarig13/vim-mr-interface for full information about it, with more updated versions and more issues, please look at the project there. Introduction Writing code require doing code reviews (CRs) on this code. Since you are writing the code in vim, why not do the CR inside vim as well? The aim of this plugin is to let you do CR on code in gitlab from vim. CR usually include opening a merge request (MR), and then moving over the diff in the code and adding comments into the gitlab's MR. Since you are reading about vim plugins, you probably know and understand why vim is a good tool for writing and reading code. Why won't you want to do your CR in vim as well? This plugin let you do the CR from vim, adding comments and discussion threads wherever you want and updating all this information on the gitlab's MR. The plugin does all this by using gitlab's API, which let you get, add, change or delete comments from MRs in it (with a lot of other stuff that this plugin doesn't touch). Usage This plugin lets you review the code and add comments directly into an open MR. In order to use it, you should have an open MR in gitlab. Add your comments from vim using the various commands of the plugin, instead of by opening gitlab's web. Commands Gitlab Commands     MRInterfaceAddComment - Add a comment into the MR.     MRInterfaceAddGeneralDiscussionThread - Add a general discussion thread into the MR. A general discussion thread is the same as a comment, but it can be resolved.     MRInterfaceAddCodeDiscussionThread - Add a discussion thread on specific location for the MR. This location currently can be only a line of text in one of the changed files (which is enough for almost anything). Cache Commands The plugin has some commands that can control the internal cache it keeps. This cache will make you type the common values for the MR just once for every merge request. You can read in the help file more about this cache mechanism. The commands are:     MRInterfaceResetCache - Reset the cache.     MRInterfaceSetCache - Set all the values in the cache. You will be prompted to insert the values for the different keys one by one.     MRInterfaceUpdateValueInCache - Set a specific value in the cache. Configuration Options These flags can be configured for the plugin. These flags should be configured using Glaive.     gitlab_server_address - The address of the gitlab server to use (in case you are not using gitlab.com).     gitlab_private_token - Your private token to authenticate with gitlab.     automatically_insert_cache - Should the cache be inserted authomatically, or should it be only the default.
