Would [remote repo] -> [repo] work?

[Andre601]

I would like to setup a workflow that can be triggered from a separate repository to then pull the content of that repository, build stuff with it and push it to the own repo's gh-pages branch under a specific folder.

Looking into this action, I can see it has an option to set a remote target repo, but not a remote source repo... So I was wondering: If I would use action/checkout's feature of defining a remote repository as source, would this action here use that repo as the source instead of the local one?

And if not, can it be considered to add an option to define a remote repository as the source?
