I’m using a private Gitlab instance (version 17.6) to store my project, which uses submodules. When I need to change a submodule’s commit, I do it on my development machine, committing and pushing to my Gitlab instance.
A coworker manages one of the submodules, making and pushing changes, but once she’s done her work then my project’s submodule commit needs to be updated. Rather than having her download my entire project and work there, I’d like for her to create a Gitlab merge request (just a change of a submodule commit) and do it all in the Gitlab web UI.
I’ve played with the Gitlab web IDE, but it doesn’t even show the submodules, let alone let someone make changes to their commits.
Is there a way to adjust submodule commits using the Gitlab web UI, or must it be done on a local clone and then pushed?
