#4929 cannot open pull request for another user's fork
Closed: Invalid 3 years ago by jlanda. Opened 3 years ago by ktdreyer.

I have a fork of Koji at https://pagure.io/fork/ktdreyer/koji . When I want to submit a pull request to another user's fork (https://pagure.io/fork/zmc/koji), Pagure does not allow me to do it.

In the "New pull request" UI, I cannot choose the zmc fork. There is a form with "Pull from ktdreyer/koji master to koji master", and when I try to change "koji" there, it does not show "fork/zmc/koji"


Forks have pull requests disabled by default on pagure.io

Ask him to enable them on the fork's project settings

Thanks for explaining!

I see a setting named "Pull Requests". I completely skipped over this when reviewing my own settings because there was help text or explanation for what that option does.

I wonder why this option exists.

GitHub does not disable this ability to send pull requests to forks by default. Would you please consider enabling it by default on pagure.io?

This option exists because some projects do not wish to accept contributions via pull request, and instead use some other mechanism (Gerrit, Review Board, emails, etc.).
