Issue: Unable to Find “New Pull Request” Option in Gitea UI

I am trying to create a Pull Request (PR) to merge the story/fox-and-grapes branch into master. However, I am unable to find the “New Pull Request”, PR Title field, and “Create Pull Request” options in the Gitea UI as mentioned in the lab instructions.

Instead, I see a message stating:
“These branches are equal. There is no need to create a pull request.”

Steps Taken:

  1. Verified that I am on the correct branch (story/fox-and-grapes).
  2. Checked the commit history to ensure changes were pushed.
  3. Refreshed the UI and attempted to access the Pull Requests tab directly.
  4. Logged out and back in, but the issue persists.

How can I resolve this and proceed with creating the pull request? Any guidance would be appreciated!
