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.
GitLab integration
Bring your GitLab development workflow into Flame
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.
A connected workflow
GitLab Issue through CI to merge request
The tool remains the system you know. Flame provides the local workspace where the work moves forward.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 04
Review before the merge request
Inspect the changed files and merge preview, then use the appropriate landing action, including opening a merge request.
How it works in Flame
GitLab-aware work without browser-only context
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.
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.
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.
