[eclipse.org-committers] Do you have tips to update external contributio

[LORENZO Vincent <vincent.lorenzo@xxxxxx>]

Dear Committers,

                I would like to know how you proceed on your project to fix/update yourself a merge requests received from a fork of your project.

                In the Papyrus-Web project, on the git, https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus-web, we receive MergeRequests from fork looking like this https://gitlab.eclipse.org/USERGIT/org.eclipse.papyrus-web/-/tree/A_BRANCH .

                Please, do you know if it exists an easy way to modify/amend the contents of the MergeRequest ? On my side I didn’t find answer on the web and ChatGPT advice me to update the fork to update the MR…

                I don’t want to have to clone the fork (in addition, it could be private I think) , then to update it to update the MR.

                I don’t want to have to refuse the MR for minor things that I can solve by myself. The basic usecase is a trivial rebase, that gitlab is not able to do itself…

                And I would find stupid to have to create a new MR and to abandon the initial contribution…

 

                I assume the problem would be the same on GitHub, right ?

 

Thanks for reading me, have a nice day.

Regards,
