Issue with CELS GitLab instances
We have been notified of an issue affecting the CELS GitLab instances that impacts the ability to view changes when reviewing a merge request.
We have opened an issue with the gitlab-ce project, and others have reported the same issue. We are hopeful that we will be able to update to a later release where the bug has been fixed sometime Monday.
A work-around, identified by one of our customers, is to use the ‘branch compare’ feature of GitLab to compare the branches to merge; to use the feature:
1. Select ‘Repository’ in the left-hand menu
2. Select ‘Compare’
3. Choose the two branches you want to merge to view the diff
From the command line, you can also use:
git diff origin/destination_branch origin/source_branch
Where ‘origin’ is the name of your remote (origin is the default, ‘git remote’ to view names of your remotes) and destination_branch is the name of the branch you wish to merge changes from source_branch into.
