OP states that he still has unlimited private repos (presumably on a paid account) so it wouldn't be cheating the private repo limit in this case. GitHub could simply count a forked private repo against the account's private repo limit if the upstream repo is disabled to avoid the type of cheating I'm thinking of.
- smoyer 9y agoI haven't paid for private repos (at least not for a few years) and yet I'm a member of several ... and I can fork them as needed without paying. In my case, I would expect that I would lose access to my fork if the private repo was no longer a paid account.
- paulgb 9y agoRight, but I'm saying GitHub could allow you to keep accessing those cloned repos if the upstream repo was disabled as long as you switch to a paid plan. I.e. they could treat it the same way they treat your own private repos when you go from a paid to unpaid plan.
- smoyer 9y agoYes ... it could be that if either of the private repos was paid, they would be available.
