# Visibility: private (default), public, internal
```

#### 2. List Merge Requests

# State: opened (default), closed, merged, all
```

#### 3. Comment on Merge Request

## Examples

**Create a private repo:**

```

**Review an MR:**
```bash
# First list to find ID
GITLAB_TOKEN=... ./scripts/gitlab_api.js list_mrs "jorgermp/my-tool" "opened"
# Then comment
GITLAB_TOKEN=... ./scripts/gitlab_api.js comment_mr "jorgermp/my-tool" 1 "Great work, but check indentation."
```
