you can create a merge request as well using only git, gitlab support it

  git push -o merge_request.create 

I have it under alias `gmr`, it will use default branch as a target

And the infinitely handy "push -o ci.variable=ALPHA=BETA" or its friend "push -o ci.skip" to influence the CI job that's created, if any, due to the push

That's the first I've read of `push -o`. Does GitHub have push options like that as well?

That's the first I ever heard of it, either, and was unable to find out if those options are exposed more generally to the CI pipeline (so can I make my own "-o" toys?)

I don't recall ever hearing of any such thing in GitHub, and their help search is so atrocious I don't know that I'd be able to find the answer even now. That said, I can't imagine that kind of customization fits into GitHub's mental model, which goes double given that they just recently even _developed_ a CI system to which one could send those options
