My understanding from the reddit post was that it was forked due to the original seemingly being abandoned.
- oarsinsync 6y agoGiven the last commit on ownphotos is from 2019, that seems likely and reasonable
- sammorrowdrums 6y agoAt some point it might also be worth detaching the fork too in that case.
- oarsinsync 6y agoWhat do you mean by detaching the fork?
- RyJones 6y agoYou can send a ticket to GitHub support to have a project appear to have no parent project (detach the fork)
- oarsinsync 6y agoGotcha. Thanks for the explanation! I think that's a terrible idea, disregarding the origins and removing an element of credit and attribution to the original authors. Be proud of where you came from, don't try to hide it.
- alisonkisk 6y agoThe problem is that the original is defunct but "fork" on GitHub assumes that the fork is going to merge changes upstream. Credit goes in the credits file, not polluting every interaction with the project.
- unityByFreedom 6y agoWhat pollution? It's just a link to the project's origin.
- pricechild 6y agoPlus I believe there is at least one way in which forks may be removed en masse if the original is removed.
