# GitLab Issues & MRs
Connect your GitLab account and OpenChamber can pull in issues and merge requests, and start a session straight from one. GitLab support is new and currently read-only — OpenChamber can't create or merge MRs for you yet.
## Connect GitLab
1. Open **Settings → Git**.
2. Under GitLab, choose **Connect**.
3. Paste a Personal Access Token. Create one in GitLab under **Profile → Access Tokens** — the `read_api` scope is enough for read-only workflows, and `api` is needed later for writing.
4. For a self-hosted GitLab instance, also enter the instance URL (for example `https://gitlab.example.com`).
When it's connected, your account shows under the GitLab section. You can connect more than one account and switch between them, or disconnect at any time.
## Start work from an issue or MR
When you create a [worktree session](/worktrees/) with GitLab connected, you can choose **Start from GitLab issue/MR**:
- pick an **issue** and OpenChamber names the branch after it and opens the session with the issue and its comments as the first message
- pick a **merge request** and it checks out the MR's branch; you can include the MR's diff so the agent has the full change
This drops you straight into a session with the context already loaded.
