GitHub: Add a fork reference to a repository -


i have own github repository want fork new name because it's 99% same code, have small changes separate functionality.

details:

  • eggers/dt-breeze typescript declaration file breeze using q.promise
  • eggers/dt-breeze-angular typescript declaration file swaps out q.promise ng.ipromise

i didn't see way fork own repository, created created separate repo, , pushed original code changes new repo, prefer have fork reference.

i saw question: add github fork existing repository 2 years ago, hoping there update.

the simplest solution remain branch within repo, mentioned musicmatze.

fork doesn't exist one's own repo (and can't have 2 repos same name): can clone, , add upstream remote fork (see gist), won't benefit pull request mechanism.

the other solution create second github account, , use (truly) fork repos first account.
