Make workflow work when PR is opened from fork

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

When u create a PR from a fork the workflow will not run. Please make it possible for the workflow to run when a pr is created from a fork

Can you elaborate on "will not run"? What do you mean by this? Does it run but fail, or does it just not run at all?

it does not run at all

I think that's a repository/fork setting, and not something to do with this action.

This is actually not true we have workflows running in our repo that work fine when a PR is opened from fork See https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/blob/development/.github/workflows/conflicts.yml

I've noticed in other repos that some workflows run automatically from forks while others don't. I'm not sure what the criteria is for that to occur. I can explore that.
