Trigger on push events to pull requests?

[jeff-hernandez]

On push trigger events, the workflow runs on all pushes to a repository branch. Is it possible to run on all pushes only if the repository branch is an opened pull request?

on:
  push:
    types: [pull_request]
...

Hi @jeff-hernandez, welcome to the GitHub Support Community! Workflows can only be triggered by the events listed on this page:

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows

pull_request isn’t a valid type of push event so this syntax won’t work. What you’re likely looking for is the synchronize type of the pull_request event. This will trigger your workflow each time the HEAD branch is updated in a pull request—i.e. when it’s pushed to.

  pull_request:
    types: [synchronize]
