GitLab CLI: Fork Documentation

My first open source contribution, documenting how glab stack sync works with forked repositories.

I documented how glab stack sync behaves on fork-based workflows after the underlying bug fix shipped.

The original fix prevented broken merge requests, but users still needed clear guidance on why fork users are prompted to choose a repository and what to pick.

I updated the CLI docs to explain:

  • when the prompt appears in fork flows,
  • how to choose the correct remote safely,
  • and how this avoids syncing to the wrong project.

This was my first merged OSS contribution and went through normal maintainer review before merge.
