PR previews for forks

[ericclemmons]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

PR previews only work for branches on origin, not for forks.

Describe the solution you'd like

Every PR for a front-end site should generate a PR preview.

Additional context

Example of a PR with a preview (notice the branch name & the preview link under "Checks"):

• Testing PR Previews docs#1183

Example of a PR without a preview (notice the forked branch name & how "Checks" doesn't have a preview):

• Updated react + react native getting started guides docs#1201

Just adding that I'd really like to see this feature. Our team functions primarily through a fork+PR flow and it's how we encourage others to interact with our project(s) as well. Having PR previews work for forks is highly desirable.

+1 for this feature. Our team accepts contributions via the fork & PR workflow.

Another +1... I came here after spending quite a while setting up previews only to realize our forking model doesn't work. that could be called out in the documentation until the feature is added. thanks!

[jpvajda]

+1 one for this feature as well!
