true, I assumed that from the question, because otherwise it wouldn't be a fork in any way if the history has been deleted.

- charcircuit 5y agoI think he just means to create the repo like normal and push your fork there as opposed to creating a fork using the fork button.
- idealmedtech 5y agoEven if the history is exactly the same, GitHub only tracks forks made through the fork button. A true git fork (eg anonymous clone, push to brand new repo, preserving all commit history) is not tracked.
- detaro 5y ago... yes, that's what you already said?
- idealmedtech 5y agoBased on your comment I thought you only thought it applied when you deleted the history, just wanted to clarify.
