git 你如何在 GitHub 上 fork 自己的仓库？

How do you fork your own repository on GitHub?

提问by WowBow

I have a public repository on GitHub. I want to replicate/copy it and work on a new project based on this repository, but I don't want to affect how it is now. I tried forking it using the GitHub UI but it didn't do anything.

我在 GitHub 上有一个公共存储库。我想复制/复制它并在基于此存储库的新项目上工作，但我不想影响它现在的状态。我尝试使用 GitHub UI 对它进行分叉，但它没有做任何事情。

I don't think you can fork your own repo.
Clone it and push it to a new repo is good but you need to:

我不认为你可以分叉你自己的回购。
克隆它并将其推送到新的存储库很好，但您需要：

git clone https://github.com/userName/Repo New_Repo
cd New_Repo
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/userName/New_Repo
git remote add upstream https://github.com/userName/Repo
git push origin master
git push --all

(see git push)

（见git push）

See the all process described at "Fork your own project on GitHub".

请参阅“在 GitHub 上分叉您自己的项目”中描述的所有过程。

Six years later (2016), you now have the GitHub importerwhich allows you to import a repo from another source... including GitHub.
See "Importing a repository with GitHub Importer"

六年后（2016 年），您现在拥有GitHub 导入器，它允许您从其他来源导入存储库……包括 GitHub。
请参阅“使用 GitHub 导入器导入存储库”

narf's answer(upvoted) also illustrate that process.

NARF的答案（upvoted）也示出了这个过程。

That will allow you to create a new repository and import the full history of the old one into the new one, using its GitHub url.

这将允许您创建一个新存储库并使用其 GitHub url 将旧存储库的完整历史记录导入到新存储库中。

Again: what you get is a copy, not a real fork: you cannot make pull request from the new repo to the old one.

再说一遍：你得到的是一份副本，而不是一个真正的分叉：你不能从新的 repo 到旧的 repo 发出拉取请求。

Again (bis), as stated in the commentsby mpersico, this is nota TRUE FORK.

再次（之二），如所述的评价通过mpersico，这是不一个TRUE FORK。

If I have a foo which is the canonical source repo for an open source project that I want other people to fork and have access to do PR, then I do not want to work in that repo, I want a fork I can use to issue proper PRs against my project.
I have solved this my creating a second account in GitHub and forking to that.

如果我有一个 foo，它是一个开源项目的规范源代码仓库，我希望其他人对其进行分叉并有权进行 PR，那么我不想在该仓库中工作，我想要一个可以用来发布的分叉针对我的项目的适当 PR。
我已经解决了这个问题，我在 GitHub 中创建了第二个帐户并分叉到那个帐户。

A super easy way to do it in 30 seconds from the GitHub website:

从 GitHub 网站 30 秒内完成的超级简单方法：

1. Copy your repo's URL. Ex: https://github.com/YourName/YourOldRepo(hint: it's the URL when you look at your repo's main page on github.
2. Click the +icon in the top right corner.
   
3. Select "Import repository".
4. Where it asks for the "Old URL", paste the URL you copied at step #1
   
5. Enter the name of your new repo and click Begin Import.
6. That's it! You now have a copy of the full repo, with all commit history and branches!

1. 复制您的存储库的 URL。例如：（https://github.com/YourName/YourOldRepo提示：这是您在 github 上查看 repo 主页时的 URL。
2. 单击右上角的+图标。
   
3. 选择“导入存储库”。
4. 在它要求“旧 URL”的地方，粘贴您在第 1 步中复制的 URL
   
5. 输入新存储库的名称，然后单击Begin Import。
6. 就是这样！您现在拥有一份完整的 repo 副本，其中包含所有提交历史记录和分支！

Limitations: It's not actually a real fork. It's a copy of the repo. It won't allow to do pull requests back and forth.

限制：它实际上不是一个真正的分叉。这是回购的副本。它不允许来回执行拉取请求。

Just clone it, create new blank repo, and push to it.

只需克隆它，创建新的空白存储库，然后推送到它。

Simplest way to achieve the desired effect is to create a new repository, then select the import option and supply the URL of the repo you wish to fork.

达到预期效果的最简单方法是创建一个新的存储库，然后选择导入选项并提供您要分叉的存储库的 URL。

For non tech savvy using GitHub, here is one simple solution as an alternative to other great answers above. What you need is just a GitHub Desktop application.

对于使用 GitHub 的非技术专家，这里有一个简单的解决方案，作为上述其他优秀答案的替代方案。您只需要一个 GitHub 桌面应用程序。

1. Open your own project repo from browser, and download as a zip, eg your-project-master.zip.
2. Unzip and rename it as your new repo.
3. Open GitHub Desktop, and add your new repo by browsing it to your unzipped local path new repo.
4. Publish it to your github, by clicking the publish button. Don't forget to add the name and the description :)

1. 从浏览器打开您自己的项目存储库，并下载为 zip，例如your-project-master.zip.
2. 解压缩并将其重命名为您的新存储库。
3. 打开 GitHub Desktop，然后通过浏览到解压缩的本地路径 new repo 来添加您的新 repo。
4. 通过单击发布按钮将其发布到您的 github。不要忘记添加名称和描述:)

The accepted solution of VonC, unfortunately, did not work for me as I got

不幸的是，接受的 VonC 解决方案对我不起作用

remote: Repository not found

远程：未找到存储库

What did work was the following:

什么起作用了：

1. Create a new_repo at github
2. git clone new_repo
3. cd new_repo
4. git remote add upstream old_repo.git
5. git pull upstream master
6. git push origin master

1. 在 github 创建一个 new_repo
2. git clone new_repo
3. cd new_repo
4. git 远程添加上游 old_repo.git
5. git pull 上游主
6. git push origin master

I got all the above from here.

我从这里得到了以上所有内容。

You can now mark the?base repository as a template (in Settings, mark it as a Template repository) and on the main page of the repo, click Use this templateto create your second repo

您现在可以将?base 存储库标记为模板（在设置中，将其标记为模板存储库）并在存储库的主页面上，单击使用此模板创建您的第二个存储库

I followed these official instructions for "Duplicating a repository" and it seemed to work.

我按照“复制存储库”的这些官方说明进行操作，它似乎有效。

https://help.github.com/articles/duplicating-a-repository/

https://help.github.com/articles/duplicating-a-repository/

To create a duplicate of a repository without forking, you need to run a special clone command against the original repository and mirror-push to the new one. This works with any git repository, not just ones hosted on GitHub.

要在不分叉的情况下创建存储库的副本，您需要对原始存储库运行特殊的克隆命令并将镜像推送到新存储库。这适用于任何 git 存储库，而不仅仅是托管在 GitHub 上的那些。

When you create a new repo, you can import from another repo with the repo .git url. It took me 30 seconde.

当你创建一个新的 repo 时，你可以使用 repo .git url 从另一个 repo 导入。我花了 30 秒。
