The Difference

❌ The CLI Way

glab mr list --reviewer=@me --state=open
glab mr view 142
glab mr checkout 142
glab mr approve 142
glab ci status

Five commands, context switching...

✅ The Natural Way

"Show MRs I need to review, check out
the auth one, and approve if CI passes"

Just ask.

Time Saved

Task	Traditional CLI	GitLab Assistant	Saved
Find MRs to review	30 seconds	5 seconds	83%
Create MR with description	2 minutes	15 seconds	88%
Check pipeline + view logs	1 minute	10 seconds	83%
Search code across projects	45 seconds	8 seconds	82%
Set up branch protection	3 minutes	20 seconds	89%

Quick Start

1. Install glab CLI

# macOS
