Originally created by @clandmeter on GitHub (Feb 13, 2019).

I have a use case where I would like to mirror a repository and make it possible for users to create pull requests and use the review features as provided by Gitea. There is no reason to merge PR's into the local tree as this will only happen on the original repository and be automatically fetched by the mirror feature.

After checking it seems that Gitea currently does not support this workflow. I wonder if it would be possible to enable this and possible disable the merge features in the PR.

Hi all, forgive my ignorance but I can't seem to make PRs on mirrors work. My imagined workflow was:

Set up a pull mirror of some upstream
Fork it
Work on a branch of fork on some feature
Open a PR on the mirror
Manually merge the PR locally and push to the upstream (i.e. the repo being mirrored)
However, I do not see any way to open the PR, but maybe I am missing something.

Thank you!
