Here's the GitLab for the GNOME Nautilus file manager.

Issue board:
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/boards>

Merge request, review, discussion:
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/merge_requests/187>

Notable: "Request to merge... into master (20 commits behind)
Below that: "Fast-forward merge is not possible. To merge this request, 
first rebase locally."

Apparently there is a project-level setting that can require all merges 
be fast-forward, requiring a re-base before merge if the target branch 
has moved ahead.

<GITLAB>

<https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/fast_forward_merge.html>

"When the fast-forward merge (--ff-only) setting is enabled, no merge 
commits will be created and all merges are fast-forwarded, which means 
that merging is only allowed if the branch could be fast-forwarded...
When a fast-forward merge is not possible, the user is given the option 
to rebase."

</GITLAB>

Perhaps that would be getting fairly close to current practices?

Back to GNOME Nautilus on GitLab...

Here's a merge request under discussion. Looks like there are different 
views available, focusing on the discussion or on the code.

Discussion, allows showing or hiding details with quoted code:
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/merge_requests/187>

Code, with inline or side-by-side diffs. Option to hide or show comments 
inline with the code:
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/merge_requests/187/diffs>

And they have this "pipeline" feature, which appears to be automated tests.

<https://gitlab.gnome.org/lamefun/nautilus/pipelines/7548/builds>

It shows console output...
Failed job: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/lamefun/nautilus/-/jobs/19606>
Successful job: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/lamefun/nautilus/-/jobs/19611>
Job history: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/jobs>

Now, if that thing could be taught to do the LilyPond "make, make check, 
make doc" routine...
