描述

Hi,

I'd like to use renovate on a project hosted on Gitlab. I went through the doc and managed to set it up on my project, but it seems it requires a developer permission on the project, to be able to create branches.

Would it be possible to make it create MR from its own fork, to avoid granting too much permissions to the bot account?

Thanks!

研究方向: Review the GitLab API documentation for creating merge requests from forks (fork mode). Examine the current codebase, particularly the GitLab platform modules, to understand how MRs are created and what permissions are needed. Look at the comments and discussions in issue #840 for design considerations and potential approaches already discussed. Consider implementing a config option that allows the bot to create a fork and work from there, possibly using personal access tokens with lower permissions.
