I have gitlab installation running, and I have a repository with library that I want to share with my friends, I can't understand what is the flow of sending pull request in gitlab..

The user can't fork my repository, he can't access my project (unless he is my on team.. which is weird..) and the merge request can be from one branch to another in my repository..

How it works in gitlab?

GitLab.com co-founder here. Forking should work fine in recent versions of GitLab (6.x). You can fork a repo belonging to someone else and then create a merge request (the properly named version of the GitHub pull request).
