Never use the fork feature on private repos. Instead, clone the repo locally, create a fresh GitHub repo, and push your local clone manually to that. Doing so will protect you from this attack.
- theossuary 4y agoIt'd be nice to be able to manually specify an upstream for a repo, that's the main benefit of forking in the UI.
- hashtag-til 4y agoDoes that limit submitting PRs to the original repo somehow?
- kitkat_new 4y agoyou need to make a fork for that, however you could add that one as a second upstream repo
- kevincox 4y agoApparently yes. You can't submit PRs to a repo outside of the "fork network". (IIUC these all share a single Git repo under the hood)
