This is definitely one thing that worries me. My forks are merged upstream and now it just looks like an unmodified fork. Perhaps GH needs to improve their signaling here with this kind of mentality being prevalent.
- yinyang_in 4y agoTrue, some mechanicm to close olds forks. Now thinking should write some script for it and clean GitHub profile. It’s seriously bad as I see now
- asimpletune 4y agoBut if the modifications were yours then that much is clear, and at the very top of the commit history. Right?
- alisonatwork 4y agoJust delete the fork. Forks that don't have any commits on top of upstream are pointless. People who are interested can already tell if you are an active contributor by looking at the other public feeds on your profile even if there aren't any forks.
- jakub_g 4y agoIf the problem is that your fork just looks like the upstream and you can't modify README in there because this would make sending patches to upstream painful, you could: - create a new branch in your fork, aside from original master/main (possibly a bare orphaned branch (with 0 commits)) - set it as default branch in repo settings - then in README.md of the new default branch, explain your contributions to the upstream (possibly with a link to github.com/<repo>/contributions?user=<yourname>)
- Too 4y agoThe activity feed still shows you made PRs into the upstream right?
