### Workflow should run in **forked** repository
> [!WARNING]
> **This part of the documentation is outdated.**
> We were not able to configure a GitHub Action workflow for forks, that the workflow would run in the fork / head repository.
> Please let us know in the [discussions](https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/discussions)-area, if and how you achieved that.
If the workflow should run in the forked repository, follow these steps:
1. In addition to listening to the `pull_request` event in your Workflow triggers, you have to add an additional event: `pull_request_target`. You can learn more about this event in [the GitHub docs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request_target).
2. GitHub Action has to be enabled on the forked repository. \
For security reasons, GitHub does not automatically enable GitHub Actions on forks. The user has to explicitly enable GitHub Actions in the "Actions"-tab of the forked repository. (Mention this in your projects README or CONTRIBUTING.md!)
After you have added the `pull_request_target` to your desired Workflow and the forked repository has enabled Actions and a new Pull Request is opened, the Workflow will run **on the forked repository**.
Due to the fact that the Workflow is not run on the repository the Pull Request is opened in, you won't see any status indicators inside the Pull Request.
#### Example
The following workflow runs `php-cs-fixer` (a code linter and fixer for PHP) when a `pull_request` is opened. We've added the `pull_request_target`-trigger too, to make it work for forks.
```yaml
name: Format PHP
on: [push, pull_request, pull_request_target]
jobs:
php-cs-fixer:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Run php-cs-fixer
uses: docker://oskarstark/php-cs-fixer-ga
- uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v5
with:
commit_message: Apply php-cs-fixer changes
```
Next time a user forks your project **and** enabled GitHub Actions **and** opened a Pull Request, the Workflow will run on the **forked** repository and will push commits to the same branch.
Here's how the Pull Request will look like:

As you can see, your contributors have to go through hoops to make this work. **For Workflows which run linters and fixers (like the example above) we recommend running them when a push happens on the `main`-branch.**
