Hello! Yesterday I submitted my first merge request to a KDE software! I forked the repo, applied the edits, committed them and pushed to my fork, and then from gitlab created a merge request. after a few hours, the author pushed something into the master, making my merge request 1 commit behind the master. On the merge request details page, I now get this error:

Merge blocked: the source branch must be rebased onto the target branch.  [rebase without pipeline]  [rebase]

If I try to click on [rebase], I get this red error:

Source branch is protected from force push

what should I do to make my merge request "mergeable" again?

@tubbadu as other said, you should not create a PR from your master branch. You can still change the source of your PR using gitlab web UI (at least I think you can change after the initial creation. You may also temporarily remove the branch protection from the master branch using gitlab web UI in the repo setting to move this specific PR forward
