Is there a way to run a CI pipeline on a branch without creating a merge
request first? It seems that some people are outsourcing their development
testing to GitLab, which I don't mind per se, but when there is an MR attached
to the branch, the pushes generate email noise.
GitLab provides instructions[1] that sound simple. When I tried following them
with an old branch I just rebased, I got the message
The form contains the following error:
• No stages / jobs for this pipeline.
Maybe there are environment variables unknown to me which I am supposed to set.
