You can set up a GitHub Action that performs an action on any push to master/main (or any branch). You can also only perform the action when specific files are changed: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax.... This shouldn't require admin access, assuming admins allow you to use GitHub Actions.

I generally don't bother looking at master/main for code changes unless there's something I'm looking for specifically. I set up CODEOWNERS so that teams get notified when their files are changed in PRs - this is how I get notified of potential changes to files that I care about.
