Workflows in forked repositories
Workflows don't run in forked repositories by default. You must enable GitHub Actions in the Actions tab of the forked repository.
{% data reusables.actions.forked-secrets %} The GITHUB_TOKEN has read-only permissions in pull requests from forked repositories. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
Pull request events for forked repositories
For pull requests from a forked repository to the base repository, {% data variables.product.product_name %} sends the pull_request, issue_comment, pull_request_review_comment, pull_request_review, and pull_request_target events to the base repository. No pull request events occur on the forked repository.
{% ifversion fpt or ghec %} When a first-time contributor submits a pull request to a public repository, a maintainer with write access may need to approve running workflows on the pull request. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE." {% endif %}
For pull requests from a forked repository to a private repository, workflows only run when they are enabled, see "AUTOTITLE."
{% note %}
Note: Workflows triggered by {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} pull requests are treated as though they are from a forked repository, and are also subject to these restrictions.
