Enable deployments from PR from the same repository only

A few questions:

1. Wouldn't it be safe to have a setting for "Enable deployments in Pull Requests from the same repository only"? As opposed to "Enable deployments in Pull Requests (available for private repos)".

2. Is there a way to deploy Pull Requests when they are from the same repository?

3. Is there a environment variable to see if current build is a PR from same repository?

Hope you can help! :)

   Both secure variables and deployments are allowed in PR builds of private repositories.

   Could you please elaborate what are you trying to accomplish: being able to deploy in PR builds of public project?

   Yes, this is a public repo that receives PRs from both repo owners and
   external collaborators.

   For internal PRs (that are from branches on the main “fork”) I’d like to
   deploy packages to internal nuget servers. For external PRs I’d like to
   just build and test.

   OK, so there is no way to run a built-in deployment in a PR build of public repository.

   However, you can implement your own publishing (nuget publish ...), put NuGet API key to a "secure variable" and then enable "Enable secure variables in Pull Requests from the same repository only".

   To check during the build if it's a PR build from the same repo or a fork you can just check the value of secure variable with Nuget API key, right? If it's set - the same repo, if it's empty - fork.

   Hope that helps.
