I guess your question is specifically: how to create a fork of your own project in the same user account in GitHub. You cannot use the user interface of the website, but you can create a new repository and push the relevant branches to it:

1. Create new repo, completely empty, without even a README https://github.com/new

2. Add the new repo as a new remote in your local clone of the original project, let's call this remote fork for example:

   git remote add fork NEW_REPO_URL
   

3. Push your single-threaded branch to it:

   git push -u fork single-threaded
   

4. Delete this branch from the original project, assuming your remote is called origin:

   git push origin :single-threaded
