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.promiseeggers/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.
