Merge Requests are a good way to visualize new changes that are about to be made in the master branch.

Instead of making changes directly into master, the Merge Request workflow allows you to:

• allow others to review the changes

• allows the pipeline to run once without affecting others or the master branch

• allows for additional changes to be made

and see the status of the pipeline for a specific branch

but also to give other developers the possibility of giving their feedback regarding a feature/fix before it gets merge into master.
