Overview

This node operation retrieves the versions of a specific merge request in a GitLab project using the GitLab API v4. It is useful for tracking changes and updates made to a merge request over time, which can help in code review and project management scenarios. For example, a developer or project manager can use this node to fetch all versions of a merge request to see the history of changes before merging.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch all versions of a merge request to review changes before merging.
  2. Track the history of updates on a merge request for audit purposes.
