## Checkout merge requests locally ## Authorization for merge requests
### By adding a git alias There are two main ways to have a merge request flow with GitLab:
1. Working with [protected branches][] in a single repository
1. Working with forks of an authoritative project
[Learn more about the authorization for merge requests.](merge_requests/authorization_for_merge_requests.md)
## Cherry-pick changes
Cherry-pick any commit in the UI by simply clicking the **Cherry-pick** button
in a merged merge requests or a commit.
[Learn more about cherry-picking changes.](merge_requests/cherry_pick_changes.md)
## Merge when build succeeds
When reviewing a merge request that looks ready to merge but still has one or
more CI builds running, you can set it to be merged automatically when all
builds succeed. This way, you don't have to wait for the builds to finish and
remember to merge the request manually.
[Learn more about merging when build succeeds.](merge_requests/merge_when_build_succeeds.md)
## Resolve discussion comments in merge requests reviews
Keep track of the progress during a code review with resolving comments.
Resolving comments prevents you from forgetting to address feedback and lets
you hide discussions that are no longer relevant.
[Read more about resolving discussion comments in merge requests reviews.](merge_requests/merge_request_discussion_resolution.md)
## Resolve conflicts
When a merge request has conflicts, GitLab may provide the option to resolve
those conflicts in the GitLab UI.
[Learn more about resolving merge conflicts in the UI.](merge_requests/resolve_conflicts.md)
## Revert changes
GitLab implements Git's powerful feature to revert any commit with introducing
a **Revert** button in merge requests and commit details.
[Learn more about reverting changes in the UI](merge_requests/revert_changes.md)
## Merge requests versions
Every time you push to a branch that is tied to a merge request, a new version
of merge request diff is created. When you visit a merge request that contains
more than one pushes, you can select and compare the versions of those merge
request diffs.
[Read more about the merge requests versions.](merge_requests/versions.md)
## Work In Progress merge requests
To prevent merge requests from accidentally being accepted before they're
completely ready, GitLab blocks the "Accept" button for merge requests that
have been marked as a **Work In Progress**.
[Learn more about settings a merge request as "Work In Progress".](merge_requests/work_in_progress_merge_requests.md)
## Ignore whitespace changes in Merge Request diff view
If you click the **Hide whitespace changes** button, you can see the diff
without whitespace changes (if there are any). This is also working when on a
specific commit page.
![MR diff](merge_requests/img/merge_request_diff.png)
>**Tip:**
You can append `?w=1` while on the diffs page of a merge request to ignore any
whitespace changes.
## Tips
Here are some tips that will help you be more efficient with merge requests in
the command line.

This section might move in its own document in the future.
### Checkout merge requests locally
A merge request contains all the history from a repository, plus the additional
commits added to the branch associated with the merge request. Here's a few
tricks to checkout a merge request locally.
