Here [1] is the official documentation for creating merge requests.  You will have
to have registered for salsa access, and I'm not sure if there's any way to avoid
using a web browser for that one-time task. The workflow requires either having push
access to the remote repository, or to "create a fork" of the repository in your
own gitlab namespace (another one-off task that you'll probably need to do in the UI).

If you do not want to use the web UI for the actual MR creation, you can instead
create the merge request when you push to upstream [2] (I use this in my workflow).
I've had trouble with setting the text of the MR, but I'm sure I'm escaping something
incorrectly in my script.

Best,
Antonio Russo
