That's what I'm doing now. It's what I don't want to do. I want the public repo to autopush PRs to my private repo so I don't have to poll it.

[LOL. A previous edit autocorrected "autopush" to "autopsy." Or maybe it was a Freudian slip on my part.]

You can trigger a GitHub action on any PR and run any arbitrary code you want.

Again. I DON'T want to run a script in a container on github's infrastructure.

If you’re polling, you can use GitHub APIs. They are pretty well documented. If you want a turn-key solution, use gitea. Depending on how flexible you need it, gitea might cover your scenarios. But you can have actions in gitea as well that automate polling GitHub APIs for issues or comments or pull requests etc.

GitHub self hosted runners might address this concern.
