Newbie in using Git and Gitlab over here
I have a Gitlab setup whereby I have the following branches for a project
devevlopment (dev) -> consolidation (cons) -> testing (test) -> production (prod) -> master
I would like to merge code on "dev" to "cons".
I see that there is not "Merge Request" button available for "dev"
Why is this the case?
TIA
Update
Thanks all for the inputs. I wound up :
- Creating a project/Repository in a group called MASTER
- Forking the project/Repository in group MASTER and placing in group PRODUCTION.
- Continued to do forks that would represent other deployment areas (i.e. test, cons, dev)
This seems to have produced the effect I was looking for - that way - I no longer have branches with :dev, test, prod, etc. under one Repository/Project.
