## Description

Never miss an important merge request again! This extension provides a convenient pop-out dashboard that displays all your assigned MRs across repositories, eliminating the need to manually subscribe to each one.

Key Features:

Effortless Setup: No need to create a personal access token. The extension leverages your existing GitLab session, ensuring seamless operation as long as you're logged in.

Comprehensive View: Track your involvement in merge requests through multiple filters: assignee, reviewer, group approvals, and even those you created.

Actionable Insights: Gain a quick overview of each MR's status (pending, approved, created, merged) alongside direct links to the request, repository, author, and pipelines.

Stay Informed: Stay on top of conversations with a list of mentions on each MR. See who has approved and access the CI/CD pipeline status with a direct link for further details.

Efficient Communication: Quickly skim through MR conversations and comments to stay up-to-date.

Conflict Resolution: Identify merge conflicts easily to prioritize troubleshooting.

Focus on What Matters: Filter the dashboard to display only explicitly assigned MRs (ideal for managers), or view all group-assigned requests.

Keep it Clean: Hide irrelevant merge requests from the list for a clutter-free workspace.

Boost your GitLab productivity and stay on top of your merge requests with this innovative extension!
