Related issue(s): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/65139
Further Details
In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/15082 we introduce a new syntax only/except: external_pull_requests which enables pipelines to run in the context of an external pull request (e.g. GitHub pull request).
In this issue we need to document:
- preconditions for its usage
- how it works
- additional predefined variables
- limitations
- describe some use cases
- difference with
only/except: branches? describe some gotchas as per https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/24089
