This Neovim plugin is designed to make it easy to review Gitlab MRs from within the editor. This means you can do things like:
- Create, approve, and merge MRs for the current branch
- Read and edit an MR description
- Add or remove reviewers and assignees
- Resolve, reply to, and unresolve discussion threads
- Create, edit, delete, and reply to comments
- View and manage pipeline Jobs
- Upload files, jump to the browser, and a lot more!

For more detailed information about the Lua APIs please run :h gitlab.nvim.api
With Lazy:
return {
"harrisoncramer/gitlab.nvim",
dependencies = {
"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
"sindrets/diffview.nvim",
"stevearc/dressing.nvim", -- Recommended but not required. Better UI for pickers.
"nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" -- Recommended but not required. Icons in discussion tree.
},
enabled = true,
build = function () require("gitlab.server").build(true) end, -- Builds the Go binary
config = function()
require("gitlab").setup()
end,
}And with Packer:
use {
'harrisoncramer/gitlab.nvim',
requires = {
"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
"sindrets/diffview.nvim",
"stevearc/dressing.nvim", -- Recommended but not required. Better UI for pickers.
"nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- Recommended but not required. Icons in discussion tree.
},
run = function() require("gitlab.server").build(true) end,
config = function()
require("gitlab").setup()
end,
}This plugin requires an auth token to connect to Gitlab. The token can be set in the root directory of the project in a .gitlab.nvim environment file, or can be set via a shell environment variable called GITLAB_TOKEN instead. If both are present, the .gitlab.nvim file will take precedence.
Optionally provide a GITLAB_URL environment variable (or gitlab_url value in the .gitlab.nvim file) to connect to a self-hosted Gitlab instance. This is optional, use ONLY for self-hosted instances. Here's what they'd look like as environment variables:
export GITLAB_TOKEN="your_gitlab_token"
export GITLAB_URL="https://my-personal-gitlab-instance.com/"And as a .gitlab.nvim file:
auth_token=your_gitlab_token
gitlab_url=https://my-personal-gitlab-instance.com/
The plugin will look for the .gitlab.nvim file in the root of the current project by default. However, you may provide a custom path to the configuration file via the config_path option. This must be an absolute path to the directory that holds your .gitlab.nvim file.
Here is the default setup function. All of these values are optional, and if you call this function with no values the defaults will be used:
require("gitlab").setup({
port = nil, -- The port of the Go server, which runs in the background, if omitted or `nil` the port will be chosen automatically
log_path = vim.fn.stdpath("cache") .. "/gitlab.nvim.log", -- Log path for the Go server

})First, check out the branch that you want to review locally.
git checkout feature-branch
Then open Neovim. To begin, try running the summary command or the review command.
The plugin does not set up any keybindings outside of the special buffers it creates, you need to set them up yourself. Here's what I'm using:
local gitlab = require("gitlab")
local gitlab_server = require("gitlab.server")
vim.keymap.set("n", "glr", gitlab.review)
vim.keymap.set("n", "gls", gitlab.summary)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glA", gitlab.approve)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glR", gitlab.revoke)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glc", gitlab.create_comment)
vim.keymap.set("v", "glc", gitlab.create_multiline_comment)
vim.keymap.set("v", "glC", gitlab.create_comment_suggestion)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glO", gitlab.create_mr)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glm", gitlab.move_to_discussion_tree_from_diagnostic)
vim.keymap.set("n", "gln", gitlab.create_note)
vim.keymap.set("n", "gld", gitlab.toggle_discussions)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glaa", gitlab.add_assignee)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glad", gitlab.delete_assignee)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glla", gitlab.add_label)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glld", gitlab.delete_label)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glra", gitlab.add_reviewer)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glrd", gitlab.delete_reviewer)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glp", gitlab.pipeline)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glo", gitlab.open_in_browser)
vim.keymap.set("n", "glM", gitlab.merge)For more information about each of these commands, and about the APIs in general, run :h gitlab.nvim.api
