GitHub only lets you fork a repo once, if you want to make more than one copy of a project here's how you can do it. Useful for starter code.
-
Create a new empty folder for your project and initialize git
cd <where-you-keep-your-projects> mkdir <your-project-name> cd <your-project-name> git init
-
"Pull" the repo you want to copy:
# git url is the same as the clone URL git pull <git-url-of-the-repo-you-want-to-copy>
-
Create a new repository for your project on GitHub
-
Push your code to the new repository you just created
git remote add origin <git-url-of-the-new-repo-you-created> git push -u origin master
