Create a Merge Request

With the initial setup complete, commit and push the changes to the remote repository, and create a merge request (MR).

NOTE: This MR is important and recommended because it triggers the pipeline responsible for uploading the microapp to the widget/microapp store. Once uploaded, the microapp becomes available on the platform and can be added to the portal.

Steps:

  1. Create and switch to a new branch

    git checkout -b setup

  2. Stage and commit the changes

    • Add all changes:

      git add -A

    • Commit them with a clear message:

      git commit -m "feat: initial setup"

      IMPORTANT: We use semantic-release to automate project versioning. Commit messages must follow a specific format. To learn more, click here.

  3. Push to the remote repository

    git push --set-upstream origin setup

  4. Follow the terminal link to create the MR in GitLab.

    • Fill out the form:
      • Title: feat: initial setup for <MicroAppName>
      • Description: (Add any relevant details)
      • Assignees: Yourself
      • Reviewers Your developer support contact
      • Merge Options: Check Squash commits when merge request is accepted
    • Click "Create merge request".
