Notifications for GitLab merge requests (MRs)
CatLight can monitor your GitLab projects and show desktop status notifications for MRs and GitLab pipelines.
Use CatLight to remind your teammates about open MR, and see which MR is under active review. When a new merge request is assigned to you, CatLight will change the color of the tray icon and show an alert.
