# After creating a Github PR, why circle runs under my fork, not the upstream repo?

Hi,

I created some Github PRs for project envoyproxy/envoy. I found one difference between my PRs and other people’s PRs is that, circleci tests my PRs under my envoy fork([example](https://circleci.com/gh/wu-bin/envoy/58?utm_campaign=vcs-integration-link&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=github-build-link)), whereas other people’s PRs are tested under the envoy’s official repo([example](https://circleci.com/gh/envoyproxy/envoy/158094?utm_campaign=vcs-integration-link&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=github-build-link)). Also, tests for my PRs use less resources and is consistently failing as a result.

Does anyone know what’s going on? How can I change my PRs to run under envoy’s official repo?

Thanks,  
Bin

Hello,

If you unfollow your fork, and the parent has `build forked PRs` on, the jobs will run under the parent instead of under your account.
