+If your development workflow dictates to have an issue for every merge

+The new branch, and later its merge request, will be marked as related to this issue.
+Once merged, the MR will automatically close the issue.

-below the issue description unless there is already a branch with the same

+NOTE: **Note:**
+You won't see the **Create merge request** button if there is already a branch with the same
+name or a referenced merge request or your project has an active
+fork relationship.
+If you would like to make this button appear, a possible workaround is to [remove your project's
+fork relationship](../settings/index.md#removing-a-fork-relationship). Once removed, the fork
+relationship cannot be restored and you will no longer be able to send merge requests to the source.
