I have a repo iontech/Anagen forked from agiliq/Anagen

I made a few commits to my fork and added a tag. Then I opened a Pull Request. This Pull Request includes only my commits.

How do I include the tag I've created into the Pull Request?

How do I include the tag I've created into the Pull Request?

You can't. A pull request does not include tags. A pull request is only a pointer to a thread of commits (a branch) in your repository that you're proposing another repository to merge.

If you want to notify the upstream repository that a tag should be created, maybe should you add a comment to the pull request explaining this.
