Add GitLab rich integration

[kpaxton]

My company has a privately hosted GitLab instance. I read in the docs that the Pull-Requests should be visible in the Commits View, but I'm not seeing them. I've set up the domain and type in the gitlens.remotes settings, but I am not seeing any Merge Requests in the view.

Is there something else I need to set up for this to work or is GitLab not fully supported for that feater?

The rich integration support is currently only implemented for GitHub, but its extensible to support any remote provider. So if someone would create a PR to talk to the GitLab (or BitBucket, AzureDev Ops, etc) APIs it could be integrated. But it is unlikely that I will add that support myself, as I don't use the other providers and it would take a lot of time for me to setup and test.

Thanks Eric.

Just to be clear, I'd love to have support for other providers -- and would definitely help anyone who wants to start on this.

I can take a look, but I can't guarantee anything time wise.

One thing I do notice right now is that GitLab's GraphQL interface doesn't seem to be full-fledged. So is there an http client that you would prefer using instead of the native http client or just use the native?

What's the best way to communicate with you if I have questions?

Thanks -- let me know if you need any help or have any questions.

If the GraphQL support won't work, I would recommend using the node-fetch library, that way we can work in the desktop and browser.

You can join the VS Code Development Community Slack or we can use the newly enabled GitHub Discussions on this repo.

The discussions or Gitter.im is probably best for me. but I'll also try and set up the slack, I'm having issue on my current machine due to a work internet filter that seems to be blocking that url.
