How can we use the GitHub PR reporter?

Hi, I tried to set up MegaLinter but the comments are not posting in PRQL/prql#1960.
I looked at the website and couldn't figure out how to set it up in detail am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the error here. I've copied the note below the table here to offer additional context on this error message:

Note: In public repositories this action does not work in pull_request workflows when triggered by forks. Any attempt will be met with the error, Resource not accessible by integration. This is due to token restrictions put in place by GitHub Actions. Private repositories can be configured to enable workflows from forks to run without restriction. See here for further explanation. Alternatively, use the pull_request_target event to comment on pull requests.

Sorry but I am still confused. Doesn't the documentation you linked to explain private repositories?
If this is mentioned in the MegaLinter documentation that would be great.

@eitsupi please could you share your .mega-linter.yml config file + your GHA workflow ?

I went into great depth regarding both public and private repositories in the thread I linked.

@eitsupi please could you share your .mega-linter.yml config file + your GHA workflow ?

Thank you for your response.
The all code are PRQL/prql#1960 and PRQL/prql#1974.

Note that I just copied the workflow definition from https://megalinter.io/latest/installation/.

I believe I understand that the example shown here does not support pull requests from forks.
I think the user would expect the example to work without doing anything, so either the example or the documentation needs to be updated, correct?

Not opposed to updating MegaLinter's documentation, but to put it in the simplest terms, it sounds like you are trying to do something that GitHub Actions doesn't support.
