So Github still doesn't have an unfork button.. but they can unfork the repo using a virtual assistant https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38831301/how-to-un-fork-the-github-repository/66470086#66470086 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38831301/how-to-un-fork-... .. I don't get why the regular UI can't do this
Anyway in some language ecosystems there are cli tools that make repositories from templates, and a benefit is that it prevents people from forking the template (which is appropriate if you are modifying the template like upgrading dependencies etc, but not if you are just making a new project using it)
- teruakohatu 4y agoThat is a really handy tip. It is so easy to quickly fork a template forgetting that is is not the intended use case.
