How to checkout merge request locally, and create new local branch?

Question

I have GitLab repository there and I need to test every merge request locally, before merging to the target branch.

How can I pull/fetch merge request as a new branch?<

Answer 1

You can also add the line

fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/merge-requests/*

to your .git/config to have git fetch fetch all merge requests.
