Marking a repo as a fork in github, after the fact

Question

We have a project that was forked a while back mostly via a copy/paste method. But there is still significant overlap between the repos.

Is it possible to retroactiv

Answer 1

you should try something along the lines fo this:

• create a real fork of the original project in github;
• set this up as a remote of your copy/pasted fork (git add remote ...)
• then rebase your work on top of this (git rebase)
