How to code review a code without a creating a Pull Request

Hello,

@gitea dev team Thank you so much for Gitea, it is a fantastic software.

I would like to be able to initialize a code review in a Gitea repository.
However, the code review facilities are available only during an opened Pull Request.

How do you usually do a code review?
There is the option ¨Reference in a new issue¨ available, but it implies to create as many issue as comments one needs to make, and it is not easy to have a full outlook of the review.

Take care,

Facteur Pat

Do you mean you’d like to have a post-merge code review? How about having an issue for a task and having a conversation there, with links to past commits?

Or you’d like to code review before merge, but without pull requests? Then again, this can be discussed in issues, with manual merging afterwards.

I wanted this functionality also.. was looking just today and stumbled across this stub thread.

Ideally:

  1. Would have a UI doodad (maybe when hovering on a line?) to say “Create Review”.
  2. This then allows multiple comments over the repo’s files (on that branch).
  3. On completion of review, a new ticket is created with all the comments in for addressing.

This would be ideal as personally I review my own code and go “doh should have done this or.. can rewrite this there or implement something like that”. outside of a ticket or any formal process. Think downtime on another project..
