You don't have to use «glab» or the «GitLab REST API» — y ou can create a MR directly through Git. I sometimes do this for simple MRs:

> git push -o merge_request.create ... HEAD

See docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/topics/git/commit/#push-options

Note that you can specify many options, including labels, milestone, and target branch. You can write a script (in «two lines») to create MRs, for example, for two branches at once.
