well I listed the stuff in my other e-mail. - it tests branch+master (more useful?) - instead of branch [web pipeline]. - you can skip the forced re-bases that were required when CI changed [i.e even if your branch is off old master - the latest CI settings from latest master will get used by MR pipeline] - it enables testing of MRs from forks. [so the additional complexity of that workflow is now gone. Note: only developers can start these pipelines - from the pipeline tab on the MR web page] Is this not sufficient for folk to choose this option? > Could we unset this for certain people who don't like it in the > .gitlab-ci.yaml file? Don't know. As mentioned in the other e-mail: An improvement would be: disable the auto-start of the MR pipelines [and only enable 'Run pipeline' option on the 'pipeline tab']. But we don't know how to do this.. Satish
