## Limitations
- [`danger local` does not work on GitLab](https://github.com/danger/danger/issues/458)
- Danger output is not added to a merge request comment if working on a fork.
- Danger output is not added to a merge request comment if working on
a fork. This happens because the secret variable from the canonical
project is not shared to forks.
To work around this, you can add an [environment
variable](../ci/variables/README.md) called
`DANGER_GITLAB_API_TOKEN` with a personal API token to your
fork. That way the danger comments will be made from CI using that
API token instead.
Making the variable
[masked](../ci/variables/README.md#masked-variables) will make sure
it doesn't show up in the job logs. The variable cannot be
[protected](../ci/variables/README.md#protected-environment-variables),
as it needs to be present for all feature branches.
