How to create a GitLab merge request via command line
<p>We are working on integrating GitLab (enterprise edition) in our tooling, but one thing that is still on our wishlist is to create a merge request in GitLab via a command line (or batchfile or similar, for that matter). We would like to integrate this in our tooling. Searching here and on the web lead me to believe that this is not possible with native GitLab, but that we need additional tooling for that. </p>

<p>Am I correct? And what kind of tooling would I want to use for this?</p>
