I have the following gitlab-ci.yml file running in DEV branch, with target as DEV as well. Since i couldnt point the TARGET as MASTER, there is no automatic MR getting created. I would like to know if its possible to create a merge request in the gitlab-ci script itself.

dev:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - url_host=`git remote get-url origin | sed -e "s/https:\/\/gitlab-ci-token:.*@//g"`
    - git remote set-url origin "https://gitlab-ci-token:${CI_TAG_UPLOAD_TOKEN}@${url_host}"
    - databricks workspace export_dir -o /mynotebooks.
    - git add .
    - git commit -m 'Add notebooks to Repo' -a || true
    - git push origin HEAD:dev
  tags:
    - test

The idea is various developers are working on a databrick cluster, and gitlab is scheduled to run at regular intervals. The changes would be pushed to DEV branch and will be pushed to MASTER branch using the Merge requests.

I would like to know if this MR creation can be automated.
