I created a new local branch from a tag contained in the upstream repo (git checkout -b mybranch upstreamTag). I pushed my local branch to my forked repo (git push -u origin mybranch). Now how can I submit a GitLab merge request to the upstream repo? I know how to do it if my branch had been created from an upstream branch, but how to reference the upstream tag?

The tag should be contained in a branch. Use that branch as the target branch. – ElpieKay Aug 17 '20 at 01:37

To find the branch associated with a tag is described [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15806448/git-how-to-find-out-on-which-branch-a-tag-is). Many thanks! – Steven Calwas Aug 17 '20 at 04:53
