Github pull request not created

[anuj-scanova]

Describe the issue

I have a self-hosted Weblate running on an EC2 instance using docker.

I want the weblate to create a pull request to the master branch once in a private repository.

Here is my VCS configuration for the project

Settings in the docker-compose.override.yml is

version: '3'
services:
  weblate:
    ports:
      - 8000:8080
    environment:
      WEBLATE_ALLOWED_HOSTS: translate.example.io
      WEBLATE_SITE_TITLE: Project i18n
      WEBLATE_SITE_DOMAIN: translate.example.io
      WEBLATE_REGISTRATION_OPEN: 1
      WEBLATE_TIME_ZONE: UTC
      WEBLATE_ENABLE_HTTPS: 1
      WEBLATE_REQUIRE_LOGIN: 1
      WEBLATE_GITHUB_USERNAME: anuj-org
      WEBLATE_GITHUB_TOKEN: ghp_IxMejxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      DEFAULT_COMMITER_EMAIL: [email protected]
      WEBLATE_DEFAULT_COMMITER_NAME: Project i18n

Where anuj-org is the existing user in Github Organization who has access to all repositories and can create pull requests

Instead of creating a pull request, weblate is pushing changes to the branch and gives the following error

Could not push the repository.
Weblate could not push changes to the upstream repository.

remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master.        
remote: error: This branch must not contain merge commits.

Keep push URL empty in case you want to push to a fork, see https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/continuous.html#pushing-changes-from-weblate

@nijel we're facing the opposite issue - as per the docs, we've filled in the push URL in order to create a PR, yet weblate creates PRs via fork. Any thoughts on how to debug that?

[nijel]

You need to fill push URL and branch.
