Merge Request Comments

Viewing Comments

When you open a Merge Request in the plugin's tool window, you can see all existing comments associated with the MR. These comments are displayed alongside the relevant code changes, making it easy to understand the context of each discussion.

Adding Comments

To add a new comment:

• Line Comments: Right-click on a specific line of code in the diff view and select "Add Comment". This will open a text box where you can type your comment.

• Overall Comments: In the Merge Request details view, there's a dedicated section to add general comments that are not tied to a specific line of code.

Replying to Comments

You can reply to existing comments to continue a discussion. Simply click on the "Reply" button or icon next to a comment, type your response, and submit it.

Resolving Discussions

If a comment represents a discussion that has been addressed, you can resolve it. This helps to keep the conversation organized and indicates that the feedback has been incorporated or acknowledged. Look for a "Resolve Discussion" button or checkbox next to the comment.

Editing and Deleting Comments

You can edit your own comments if you need to make corrections or additions. Similarly, you can delete your own comments if they are no longer relevant.

Comment Status and Types

Comments can have different statuses (e.g., "Open", "Resolved") and types (e.g., "Discussion", "Suggestion"). The plugin displays these statuses and types to give you a clear overview of the review progress.
