quickly create pull request by issue like gitlab

[pip2099]

I suggest that gitea should study gitlab that we can creat a pull request and relate branch quickly by a issue like gitlab。

Please explain clearly what this does and how this works - most of us don't use gitlab so referencing what gitlab does isn't a good way to describe the requested feature.

Within an existing issue, the GitLab UX allows you to create a newly diverged branch and associate it with a Pull Request without needing existing changes to exist. This is more of a nice to have than anything else, but regardless would be an appreciated addition.

Here's the important part UI wise:

This is a great workflow from gitlab. It works like this:

1. One click to create a merge request with a new branch associated to the issue. As the screenshot posted by @Reinitialized
2. Then we checkout the new issue branch and code, commit and push...
3. Last, we merge the pull request. It merges the new branch into the source branch and closes the associated issue. Optionally, we can delete the issue branch on merging by checking a checkbox.

This is the best practice as far as I know. Thanks!

Actually, that feature is so usefull (for me), that it's absence stops me from moving to gitea from gitlab

Hi, any update on this functionality ? This is very useful and it can be a VERY good check to the issue tracker.

I'm a little surprised this doesn't have more discussion. Creating a new PR/MR from an issue seems like one of the most common workflows for modern git servers. It would be really nice to see it in Gitea!

I think it's not very difficult to implement, it just to create a branch and a PR from the the issue UI but with some comments that the new PR will resolve the issue.

I switch from gitlab to github recently and this feature is really missing and slow down my flow.
