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?
You can simply
git cloneon your system andpushit to whatever other remote you want. It should not be associated to the origin in that way.
