Is there a way on GitHub to filter by most active forks? All I get when I click on the Forks page is this warning: "Woah, this network is huge! We’re showing only some of this network’s repositories."
This would be valuable for a number of projects that have been abandoned or see infrequent updates while a fork (that usually has to be found by word of mouth or Google) is significantly more active.
- chrisdalke 6y agoI wish GitHub had a better interface to browse forks, right now it just displays a single list and requires you to search through individual forks to find any meaningful changes. They also featured "fork this project" prominently for a while leading to many novice Git users forking projects unnecessarily, which pollutes the list of forks.
- ourcat 6y agoAgreed. That interface could be so much easier to navigate. Might be easier on a touch interface. Even some simple ordering by recency of activity would be a vast improvement. Or some 'momentum' to the scrolling of the tree.
