Is it possible to 'fork a fork' in Github?
提问by Aron Rotteveel
I am currently working on a project that is a spinoff (fork) from a framework I have been working on.
我目前正在从事一个项目，该项目是我一直在研究的框架的衍生（分支）。
This project is intended to be pretty generic, but now I need to fork the codebase again for a client of mine.
这个项目的目的是非常通用，但现在我需要为我的一个客户再次分叉代码库。
At this moment, I have created a custom branch for my client, but I'd rather have a standalone repository for this.
目前，我已经为我的客户创建了一个自定义分支，但我宁愿为此拥有一个独立的存储库。
- Is is possible to 'fork a fork'?
- If not, what alternatives do I have?
- 有可能“分叉”吗？
- 如果没有，我有什么选择？
Outline of the situation:
情况概述：
- Framework repository (original)
- Generic application repository (fork)
- (not yet)Client repository (fork of application)
- Generic application repository (fork)
- 框架存储库（原始）
- 通用应用程序存储库（fork）
- （尚未）客户端存储库（应用程序的分支）
- 通用应用程序存储库（fork）
Note:when trying to 'fork a fork' in Github, you will receive a notification that you have already forked the project:
注意：当尝试在 Github 中“fork a fork”时，您将收到一条通知，表明您已经对项目进行了分叉：

I contacted GitHub support about this 'issue' and they confirmed this is not possible. Also, it is very unlikely that such a feature will be implemented in the future.
我就这个“问题”联系了 GitHub 支持，他们确认这是不可能的。此外，将来实施此类功能的可能性很小。

This is now very possible. You just go to the fork you want to fork and click "fork" like you would always do. This only works if you don't have a different fork of that repository in your account already, though. If you do, you have to delete it.
现在这是非常有可能的。您只需转到要分叉的分叉，然后像往常一样单击“分叉”。但是，这仅在您的帐户中没有该存储库的不同分支时才有效。如果这样做，则必须将其删除。

Since this is the correct answer now, it is better to highlight it.
由于这是现在的正确答案，因此最好突出显示它。

Simple answer: Yes and no.
简单的回答：是和否。
No, for a single account as you are unable to create two repositories with the same name (and forks always have the same name).
不，对于单个帐户，因为您无法创建两个同名的存储库（并且分叉始终具有相同的名称）。
Yes, for multiple accounts. So you could setup an organization for your second fork.
是的，对于多个帐户。所以你可以为你的第二个分叉设置一个组织。
