## Advanced Uses
### Using the Action in forks from public repositories
<details>
<summary>Use in forks from public repositories</summary>
**☝️ Important Notice**: This Action technically works with forks. However, please note that the combination of triggers and their options can cause issues. Please read [the documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows) on which triggers GitHub Actions support.\
If you use this Action in combination with a linter/fixer, it's easier if you run the Action on `push` on your `main`-branch.

By default, GitHub Actions doesn't run Workflows on forks from private repositories. To enable Actions for **private** repositories enable "Run workflows from pull requests" in your repository settings.
See [this announcement from GitHub](https://github.blog/2020-08-03-github-actions-improvements-for-fork-and-pull-request-workflows/) or the [GitHub docs](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/disabling-or-limiting-github-actions-for-a-repository#enabling-workflows-for-private-repository-forks) for details.

Signing Commits & Other Git Command Line Options

Using command lines options needs to be done manually for each workflow which you require the option enabled. So for example signing commits requires you to import the gpg signature each and every time. The following list of actions are worth checking out if you need to automate these tasks regulary.
