Description

We have the usecase to create Pullrequests from available tags
via GIT CLI its the same as for branches
git checkout destination_branch
git merge your_tag

However gitea does not show any tags within the pullrequest control

Do I miss something?

I think even github didn't support this.

@lunny
on GITEA you can create a comparison between branches and tags already, with a workaround by editing the url in the compare-window via replacing the target-branch with the tag you like to merge.

Unfortually the "Create PullRequest"-Button is not there :(

for example
https://try.gitea.io/Butcher/test-repo2/compare/master...1.0.0.0

with 1.0.0.0 is a tag

As far as my understanding is correct, Gitea makes a difference between a branch-head and a tag.
on git level its just a different prefix (ref/head vs ref/tag)

to get this running, gitea has to threat a tag and a branch-head equally

@lunny I added a basic tag-pull-request-functionality on my fork:
https://github.com/sharpSteff/gitea
Just added all tags to the branch-selection-control, because I'm not really familier with this go-templates.

I'll try the forked version with my team to see any compatibility problems with old PRs, etc

@sharpSteff, see PR #15723. It doesn't enable creating a pull request, but it lets you select tags to compare. So once this gets reviewed, you may want to merge it into your fork.

I also confirmed that GitHub does not currently have a UI to create a pull request from a tag. It's probably just not a very common workflow.
