GitLab No Merge By Self is a free Chrome extension designed to enhance GitLab's functionality by preventing users from merging their own code changes. This tool addresses a common limitation within GitLab, which does not natively support the option to restrict self-merging of code. By using this add-on, teams can enforce better code review practices and maintain higher code quality standards.

The extension is simple to install and integrates seamlessly into the GitLab interface. Once activated, it effectively disables the merge button for the user who authored the changes, encouraging collaboration and peer review before any code is merged into the main branch. This tool is particularly beneficial for teams looking to implement stricter code governance and improve their development workflows.
