+# Merge Requests
+
+Merge requests allow you to exchange changes you made to source code
+
+## Only allow merge requests to be merged if the build succeeds
+
+You can prevent merge requests from being merged if their build did not succeed
+in the project settings page.
+
+![only_allow_merge_if_build_succeeds](merge_requests/only_allow_merge_if_build_succeeds.png)
+
+Navigate to project settings page and select the `Only allow merge requests to be merged if the build succeeds` check box.
+
+Please note that you need to have builds configured to enable this feature.
+
+## Checkout merge requests locally
+
+Locate the section for your GitLab remote in the `.git/config` file. It looks like this:
+
+```
+[remote "origin"]
+  url = https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
+  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
+```
+
+Now add the line `fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/merge-requests/*` to this section.
+
+It should look like this:
+
+```
+[remote "origin"]
+  url = https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
+  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
+  fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/merge-requests/*
+```
+
+Now you can fetch all the merge requests requests:
+
+```
+$ git fetch origin
+From https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
+ * [new ref]         refs/merge-requests/1/head -> origin/merge-requests/1
+ * [new ref]         refs/merge-requests/2/head -> origin/merge-requests/2
+...
+```
+
+To check out a particular merge request:
+
+```
+$ git checkout origin/merge-requests/1
+```
+
+## Ignore whitespace changes in Merge Request diff view
+
+![MR diff](merge_requests/merge_request_diff.png)
+
+If you click the "Hide whitespace changes" button, you can see the diff without whitespace changes.
+
+![MR diff without whitespace](merge_requests/merge_request_diff_without_whitespace.png)
+
+It is also working on commits compare view.
