git-mr is a third-party command-line tool (Ruby gem) for managing merge requests (MRs) and pull requests (PRs) on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. It streamlines workflows by allowing users to create, list, view, checkout, approve, merge, or close MRs/PRs directly from the terminal, integrating with hosting service APIs.

Key features include branch synchronization, status checks, and configuration via YAML files for tokens and settings. It reduces context-switching between terminal and web UIs, ideal for developers in CI/CD pipelines or daily Git workflows. Not part of core git; requires separate installation.

Third-party tool; install via gem install git-mr. Requires API tokens in config (~/.gitmr.yml). Limited platform support; check compatibility with your host. Not available in standard Linux repos.

Run gem install git-mr or brew tap bkuhlmann/formulae && brew install git-mr. Source: github.com/bkuhlmann/git-mr.

Edit ~/.gitmr.yml with service tokens:
github:
  token: xxx
gitlab:
  token: yyy

git-mr create --title 'Fix bug' --description 'Details'
git-mr list --mine

Initial release ~2014 by bkuhlmann (Ruby gem). Evolved for multi-platform support; forks like postmortemdev/git-mr added features. Usage peaked in GitLab-heavy workflows pre-native CLIs like gh and glab. Maintenance sporadic as of 2023.
