Doesn't work with GITHUB_TOKEN: "Resource not accessible by integration"

Hi!
From description it looks like that it should work with GITHUB_TOKEN, but it doesn't for me.

it seems that creating PAT is mandatory?

Hi @alex1yaremchuk

This normally occurs when using actions in pull_request workflows triggered by forks.

There's an explanation I wrote on the readme of this action:

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.

Thank you for the explanation!

actually, in my case it was a direct push.
the repo was private at that moment.

it was in this repo:
https://github.com/alex1yaremchuk/first-pull-request

it worked when i set up PAT
