# glab-stack-sync(1)

Push the stack to GitLab, and create or update its merge requests. (EXPERIMENTAL)

## NAME

glab-stack-sync - Push the stack to GitLab, and create or update its merge requests. (EXPERIMENTAL)

## SYNOPSIS

**glab stack sync \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Updates GitLab to match your local stack:

- •

  Creates a merge request for each diff without one, unless **--skip-mr-creation** or **--skip-push** is set. Each merge request targets the branch of the previous diff, or the base branch for the first diff.

- •

  Pulls changes made on GitLab, such as applied suggestions, into any diff whose branch is behind its remote.

- •

  If you amended a diff since the last sync, rebases the diffs after it. Then, unless **--skip-push** is set, force-pushes the stack's branches.

- •

  Removes diffs with merged merge requests and deletes their local branches. Keeps diffs with closed merge requests.

- •

  If you're working in a fork, asks whether to push to the fork or the upstream repository.

- •

  With **--update-base**, rebases the stack onto the latest version of the base branch. Then, unless **--skip-push** is set, force-pushes the stack's branches.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development\_stages\_support/.

## OPTIONS

**-a**, **--assignee**=\[\]\
 	Assign merge request to people by their **usernames**. Multiple usernames can be comma-separated or specified by repeating the flag.

**-l**, **--label**=\[\]\
 	Add label by **name**. Multiple labels can be comma-separated or specified by repeating the flag.

**--no-verify**\[=false\]\
 	Bypass the pre-push hook. (See [githooks(5)](/githooks/5.md) for more information.)

**--reviewer**=\[\]\
 	Request review from users by their **usernames**. Multiple usernames can be comma-separated or specified by repeating the flag.

**--skip-mr-creation**\[=false\]\
 	Skip creating merge requests for branches that don't have one yet.

**--skip-push**\[=false\]\
 	Rebase the stack locally without pushing branches or creating merge requests. Still fetches from the remote and calls the GitLab API.

**--update-base**\[=false\]\
 	Rebase the stack onto the latest version of the base branch.

## OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

**-h**, **--help**\[=false\]\
 	Show help for this command.

**-R**, **--repo**=""\
 	Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.
