Create a merge request in less than 20 seconds

This package is because I love the terminal, spent too much time in it and I wanted to create a merge request after my last commit. The trigger for this package is because, I wanted to know the time I took to create a merge request from the Gitlab UI ( more than 1 minutes, to find the repo/create the MR). A rapid calcul 60 seconds _ 10 merge request _ 5 weeks = 3000s/50min by month to create a merge request With my script you cut that time by 3, 20 seconds _ 10 merge request _ 5 weeks = 1000s/16min40 by month to create a merge request

DISCLAIMER This script is mainly for my use case, you are free to open a PR or fork the project to adapt the code for you.

Enjoy !
