GitLab integration

Read the failed GitLab job beside the code that fixes it.

Flame gives GitLab work a local implementation environment: repositories, issue context, isolated branches, terminals, tests, CI state, merge-request actions, and review.

The developer problem

GitLab CI failures are easier to fix with the repository already open.

A GitLab pipeline can tell you that a job failed, but fixing it usually sends you from the browser back to the correct branch, logs, terminal, configuration, and test command. That context switch becomes more expensive across several services.

Flame brings GitLab pipelines and issue work closer to the local codebase. It does not replace GitLab; it shortens the route from an issue or failed pipeline to a focused change and a reviewed merge request.

Try it on a real task

What GitLab enables in Flame

Connect

Add the GitLab connection for your host and repository, with the permissions needed for Issues and CI. Bind the project to narrow its task list.

Example task

Investigate a failed deploy job while another branch's feature work remains open.

Inspect the result

Expand the pipeline's stages, open the failing job log, repair the configuration in a worktree, and push and prepare a merge-request form.

What to expect

Available job actions depend on GitLab permissions and pipeline state. You submit the prepared MR form on GitLab; Flame does not infer that an MR was created or merged.

A connected workflow

GitLab Issue through CI to merge request

  1. 01

    Start with the GitLab item

    Use a GitLab Issue in the Tasks panel as the implementation context, then create a manual or agent-owned task.

  2. 02

    Keep the branch isolated

    Choose an optional Git worktree for the implementation, especially when another issue or service needs attention at the same time.

  3. 03

    Move from pipeline to local evidence

    Use the GitLab CI status and open run as the link back to the code, local terminal output, tests, and diff.

  4. 04

    Review before the merge request

    Inspect the changed files and merge preview, then use the appropriate landing action, including pushing and preparing a merge-request form to submit on GitLab.

How it works in Flame

GitLab-aware work without browser-only context

01

GitLab Issues as implementation context

Flame supports GitLab Issues through its connected task-provider workflow, so assigned work can be inspected in the IDE and handed to an agent.

02

CI pipeline visibility near the workspace

Flame can show GitLab CI pipelines, trigger supported jobs, and open the run. You retain GitLab as the system of record while the code stays local.

03

Worktree isolation for independent changes

Run a fix in a distinct working directory so a pipeline repair does not disrupt your active feature branch or another agent task.

04

Merge-request-ready review

The local Git diff and merge preview provide a deliberate review point before you open a merge request or land work another way.
