### By adding a git alias
Add the following alias to your `~/.gitconfig`:
+
```
[alias]
mr = !sh -c 'git fetch origin merge-requests/$1/head:mr-$1 && git checkout mr-$1' -
```
+
Now you can check out a particular merge request from any repository (it will use the `origin` remote) by:
+
```
$ git mr 5
```
+
This will fetch the merge request into a local `mr-5` branch and check it out.
