Export merge requests to CSV (FREE)

Introduced in GitLab 13.6.

Export all the data collected from a project's merge requests into a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

To export merge requests to a CSV file:

On the top bar, select Menu > Projects and find your project.
On the left sidebar, select Merge requests .
Add any searches or filters. This can help you keep the size of the CSV file under the 15MB limit. The limit ensures the file can be emailed to a variety of email providers.
Select Export as CSV ({export}).
Confirm the correct number of merge requests are to be exported.
Select Export merge requests.

The following table shows the attributes in the CSV file.
