## Working with fork repositories

If you forked this repository, some GitHub Actions workflows may fail due to missing secrets or permissions. To avoid unnecessary workflow failure notifications:

### Disabling GitHub Actions in your fork

**Option 1: Disable all workflows** - Go to Settings > Actions > General, select "Disable actions", and save

**Option 2: Disable specific workflows** - Go to Actions tab, click a workflow, click "..." menu, and select "Disable workflow"

Either option still allows you to contribute via pull requests to the main repository.
