I've been following the instruction here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/GitLab/Gitlab_Runner/Trusted_Runners#Request_access_to_Trusted_Runners
...and I have a couple of observations. Perhaps the docs or the settings need to be updated.

1. There is a reference to a phabricator template to request access, but the link appears to be incorrect.

2. The instructions say:

To request access, add your project to the projects.json file and open a merge request. Please add the id (go to Settings > General in your project), the name of the project and a reason why access is needed.

It appears that I do not have the required rights to create a new branch on the project, so I can't create a merge request.

(base) btullis@marlin:~/wmf/gitlab-trusted-runner$ git push -u origin add_data_eng_spark 
remote: 
remote: ========================================================================
remote: 
remote: You are not allowed to push code to this project.
remote: 
remote: ========================================================================
remote: 
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

I will take care of this for you but in the future to work around something like this you can create a fork of the repo, make the change in your fork, and the create a merge request from your fork into the target repo.

Ah, great. Many thanks for taking care of it. I'll do that next time.

@Jelto, what template did you intend to link to here? Right now it just links to the Phabricator main page.
