Thanks for the offer (and the more detailed one offline, where you
recommend cloning the repository rather than forking it). Just for
future reference, could you tell me the benefits of cloning over forking?
We can discuss more offline, but at a high level:
- if you fork my repo, mine is the head of the network graph
- if you clone it and then push it to a repo in your account, yours
is the head of the network graph
Basically, I don't want your repo to be a fork of mine. That would
confuse users about where issues/PRs should be. I plan to delete my
repo once you've loaded the copy to your account.
Got it, thanks.
Duncan
