Trigger workflow from external repo – Phpmyadmin

I can trigger a workflow based on a push to my repo with

on:
  push

Is it possible to trigger a workflow when there is a push to another public repo that I don’t have push access to, such as phpmyadmin?

    I’m pretty sure the answer is no, you can’t programmatically subscribe one repo to another repo’s events.

    However what you could do is run a scheduled job (once per day, or more frequently if you need) to check for any updates. You could store the last known SHA in your repo, then update it via a PR or direct commit when the action detects an update.

    This is similar to what tools like https://dependabot.com/ do.

    You can use “Repository_dispatch” trigger to trigger any workflow. The link below can be helpful to use

     on:
        repository_dispatch:
            types: [start-example-workflow]

    With that payload, you can POST the request to https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/dispatches to trigger workflows

    Accept:  application/vnd.github.everest-preview+json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{personal_access_token}}

{
    "event_type": "my_event_type",
    "client_payload": {
        "example-key": "example-value"
    }
}

    Let me know if this helps you out.

    This may be not helpful if you don’t have access to both repositories, but since I haven’t found any other solution I post it anyway.

    The solution can happen on push or any other event and it’s using this dispatch github action:

    name: Trigger PR in PMS on release
on: push

jobs:
  build:
    name: Dispatch an update
    steps:
      - uses: mvasigh/dispatch-action@main
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}
          repo: from-repository
          event_type: update_event

    then listen to the event_type from the subscribed repository:

    name: Update event
on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [update_event]

jobs:
  build:
    steps:
      - run: yarn
      ...
