Prevent workflow jobs run twice on push and PR

Body

I have a GitHub workflow file which I use for testing an application.
These run on push and on pull requests, so I see when it fails after pushing and when I want to merge it to the main branch.

The problem: If I created a pull request and push afterward to the branch which should be merged, all jobs run twice: one for the push event and one for the PR event.

How can I prevent it to execute all jobs twice?

This is how my ci.yml file looks like:

name: CI
on: [ push, pull_request ]
jobs:
  job1: ...
  job2: ...

Try this:

name: CI
on: [ push, pull_request ]
jobs:
  job1:
    if: github.event_name != 'pull_request' || github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name != github.event.pull_request.base.repo.full_name
    ...

  job2:
    if: github.event_name != 'pull_request' || github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name != github.event.pull_request.base.repo.full_name
    ...

Not tested, but maybe this works?

on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches: ["master"]
