Docs feedback: Variables Enabled by "Pipelines for Merged Results" Feature
Predefined environment variables reference and/or Pipelines for Merge Requests
It's my understanding that some variables like CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_SHA and CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_SHA exists only if you use the new Pipelines for Merged Results feature. Its not clear to me what all variables are affected by this and this is not clearly outlined in our documentation.
When visiting Predefined environment variables reference, you will navigate to CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_SHA on the page
It then links to Pipelines for Merge Requests but nowhere is it stated that this variable needs the Pipelines for Merged Results feature enabled to work.
This is driving some confusion and issues with prospects and customers.
