Merge requests contain their own description which is comparable to a `git send-mail` cover letter. If the merge requests contains only a single commit the merge request description equal commit description per default. If the merge request contains multiple commits the description is user defined and ideally contains a summary of the proposed commits. For CI purposes the merge request description can contain commands change the CI default behaviour. This is useful to explicitly run special cases. The merge request description could contain a control command like the following: ``` CI-config: USE_SPECIAL_CASE_Z=1 ``` The CI script can evaluate those options via the following command: ``` echo "$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_DESCRIPTION" | grep -e "^CI-config:" \ cut -d ':' -f 2 | tr ' ' '\n' > extra_env ``` This method allow to run corner cases withouth modifying nor bloating the git log.
