I’ve seen some projects on GitHub (howdy being one of them that came to mind) where there are forks, but when I check the forks out they are either unchanged, or are behind by a few commits. I was wondering why this would happen. It couldn’t be for archival purposes, could it?

    Maybe they changed the defaults. I stopped using GitHub after they trained their AI over private repos.

    But I remember clearly that I was annoyed when looking at my own repos because my forks (for actually doing PRs) would show at the top instead of my own repos.

      It’s been that way for many years, I’d say at least 4 or 5? Long before all this ai nonsense.
