# changesets/action/pr-status
This action generates the changesets status in PRs, e.g. whether it has changeset files and which packages will be released if the PR is merged.
It requires the repo to be checked out, and automatically fetches the PR head ref into a temporary detached worktree in order to infer the changed files and packages. It also requires the [`pull_request_target`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request_target) event to be triggered in order to have permissions to comment on the PR and to work in PRs from forks.
You can also use the [`pull_request`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request) event if you prefer to lock permissions down and not run for PRs from forks. Make sure to add an if check to prevent the action from failing in fork PRs:
```yaml
jobs:
pr-status:
if: github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository
# ...
```
See the [action metadata](action.yml) for details on the inputs and outputs.
> [!WARNING]
> **Do not run untrusted code** when using the `pull_request_target` event. The example below only checks out code and does not run any code from the PR. Read more about the `pull_request_target` event in the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request_target).
## Example setup
```yaml
# .github/workflows/comment-changesets-pr-status.yml
name: Comment Changesets status in PRs
on:
pull_request_target:
concurrency:
group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
cancel-in-progress: true
jobs:
pr-status:
runs-on: ubuntu-slim
permissions:
contents: read # to check out files in the repo
outputs:
comment-body: ${{ steps.pr-status.outputs.comment-body }}
steps:
- name: Check out repo
uses: actions/checkout@v6
- name: Generate status
id: pr-status
uses: changesets/action/pr-status@v1
pr-comment:
needs: pr-status
runs-on: ubuntu-slim
permissions:
pull-requests: write # to create and update comments on PRs
steps:
- name: Comment on PR
uses: changesets/action/pr-comment@v1
with:
body: ${{ needs.pr-status.outputs.comment-body }}
update-id: changesets-pr-status
```
The workflow uses [`@changesets/action/pr-comment`](../pr-comment/README.md), which is a simple GitHub Action to comment on PRs.
