This merge is done automatically in a
[scheduled pipeline](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-tools/-/jobs/43201679).
If a merge is already in progress, the job [doesn't create a new one](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-tools/-/jobs/43157687).
**If you are pinged in a `CE Upstream` merge request to resolve a conflict,
please resolve the conflict as soon as possible or ask someone else to do it!**
>**Note:**
It's ok to resolve more conflicts than the one that you are asked to resolve. In
that case, it's a good habit to ask for a double-check on your resolution by
someone who is familiar with the code you touched.
## What to do if you are pinged in a `CE Upstream` merge request to resolve a conflict?
1. Please resolve the conflict as soon as possible or ask someone else to do it
- It's ok to resolve more conflicts than the one that you are asked to resolve.
In that case, it's a good habit to ask for a double-check on your resolution
by someone who is familiar with the code you touched.
1. Once you have resolved your conflicts, push to the branch (no force-push)
1. Assign the merge request to the next person that has to resolve a conflict
1. If all conflicts are resolved after your resolution is pushed, keep the merge
request assigned to you: **you are now responsible for the merge request to be
green**
1. If you need any help, you can ping the current [release managers], or ask in
the `#ce-to-ee` Slack channel
A few notes about the automatic CE->EE merge job:
- If a merge is already in progress, the job
[doesn't create a new one](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-tools/-/jobs/43157687).
- If there is nothing to merge (i.e. EE is up-to-date with CE), the job doesn't
create a new one
- The job posts messages to the `#ce-to-ee` Slack channel to inform what's the
current CE->EE merge status (e.g. "A new MR has been created", "A MR is still pending")

## Always merge EE merge requests before their CE counterparts
