Workflows should only run on origin repo

[danielhjacobs]

This probably shouldn't run on forks.

Hi, I think disabling the workflow manually on your fork should resolve this:

You can do so in the "Actions" tab of your fork by clicking on the "PR review companion" workflow, then clicking the three dot menu.

This works, but I'm hesitant to mark it as an answer because I think it would be better if that action were set up to not run on forks by default.

I think this can be done by adding if: github.repository == 'mdn/content' to the yml file for that workflow.

@schalkneethling I actually think this is a good idea - I never disable workflows & get notifications for my branch - what do you think?

[schalkneethling]

Yes! Thank you for the suggestion @danielhjacobs. Let me see if that is indeed the way to do this. Perhaps GitHub has a special mechanism to ensure the workflows only run on the origin repository. If not, your suggestion would be the go-to(no pun intended :)).

I assume if there were a different mechanism, it would be mentioned here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#example-only-run-job-for-specific-repository

Thank you @danielhjacobs, I will look into this further tomorrow.
