Hi,

We have a public repo for which fork pull requests are not triggering builds. According to your documentation “If yourorg/yourproject is a public repository, we will run builds for pull requests from otherdev/yourproject under yourorg/yourproject on CircleCI”. This doesn’t seem to be happening for our repo, could you advise on what the best way forward is?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry you didn’t hear back from us about this. I’ve replied to the support ticket.

For reference it looks like our system wasn’t recognising the project as Open Source. This should now be resolved.
