+1 I have no personal experience with gitlab, but it: 1) allows creating merge requests by email: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.html#by-sending-an-email See there are also tools for managing discussion by email. 2) has a CLI tool that can manage merge requests, but cannot be used for attaching comments to specific code lines: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli/-/issues/1311 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
