I need to create a merge request from a forked GitLab repository into the original repository, while running a bash script.

Use the API

An example merge request would look like this:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: " -X POST https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/projects/project_id/merge_requests/?target_project_id=id_of_parent_project

Thank you. The GitLab API documentation (docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/merge_requests.html) says: POST /projects/:id/merge_requests Could you please explain how I am supposed to come from this to what you wrote? I am asking since I need to understand the syntax for my particular URL.
What exactly is unclear
It said: "projects/:id", you said: "project_id". Also, where did you get this variable name: target_project_id?
The project id can be grabbed from the API too, using the projects endpoint. The variable target_project_name is an attribute in the API docs listed above.
Yes, thank you, I got it: it is something like: curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: XXXXXX" -X POST "gitlab.example.com/api/v3/projects 12345merge_requests?source_branch=XXXXXX& target_branch=XXXXXX&title=Test&target_project_id=12356" Sorry about multiple attempts to format properly.
