How to checkout merge request locally, and create new local branch?

Question

I have GitLab repository there and I need to test every merge request locally, before merging to the target branch.

How can I pull/fetch merge request as a new branch?<

Answer 1

1. Pull merge request to new branch

   git fetch origin merge-requests/REQUESTID/head:BRANCHNAME

   i.e git fetch origin merge-requests/10/head:file_upload

2. Checkout to newly created branch

   git checkout BRANCHNAME

   i.e (git checkout file_upload)

OR with single command

git fetch origin merge-requests/REQUESTID/head:BRANCHNAME && git checkout BRANCHNAME

i.e git fetch origin merge-requests/18/head:file_upload && git checkout file_upload
