Support Request: Github check not showing for forked branches.

[ryan-rushton]

Hi, we have been attempting to integrate packtracker with github actions through pull request events. We are aware that it is intended for push events but this isn't enabled on forks by default.

To get around that we are pulling out the env vars that get passed into packtracker via looking at the forks commit hash and checking out the repo with depth 3.

We can see the base commit and the branches commit on packtracker.io with all the correct details but we are not getting the github checks showing up in the pull request. See DestinyItemManager/DIM#6445.

Everything is working perfectly for branches off the main repo, it is only forks we are seeing this issue.

Interesting, more than willing to help sift through this and maybe see where we're getting hung up.

If you're seeing the commits show up from the forks, we should be close. Could you provide me a link to a PR that has both the base and PR head commits confirmed to be reported to packtracker, but you're not seeing the status report on the PR?

The one I linked above definitely has the commit showing on packtracker.io. Here it is again, DestinyItemManager/DIM#6445. I did check that master (the base) had the commit showing in packtracker when I opened the PR.

Another interesting case I have is this, DestinyItemManager/DIM#6441. I was getting packtracker reports on all prior commits to the latest.

Edit: here is the commit on packtracker.io

Not sure how to figure out which base commit it is comparing it to. Is it always the latest?

Hi @jondavidjohn, wondering if you have had a chance to look into this and if there is anything else I can do to help? I can open a new PR from a fork if necessary.
