**No support for running the Action in build matrices**. If your Workflow is using build matrices, and you want that each job commits and pushes files to the remote, you will run into the issue, that the repository in the workflow will become out of date. As the Action will not do a `git pull` for you, you have to do that yourself.

By default, this Action will not run on Pull Requests which have been opened by forks. (This is a limitation by GitHub, not by us.)
|
||||
However, there are a couple of ways to use this Actions in Workflows that should be triggered by forked repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want that a Workflow using this Action runs on Pull Requests opened by forks, 2 things have to be changed:
|
||||
### Workflow should run in **base** repository
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow below runs whenever a commit is pushed to the `main`-branch or when activity on a pull request happens, by listening to the [`pull_request_target`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request_target) event.
|
||||
|
||||
If the workflow is triggered by the `pull_request_target`-event, the workflow will run in the context of the base of the pull request, rather than in the context of the merge commit, as the `pull_request` event does.
|
||||
In other words, this will allow your workflow to be run in the repository where the pull request is opened to and will push changes back to the fork.
|
||||

||||

### Workflow should run in **forked** repository
|
||||
|
||||
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).
