#896 "Fork" button missing from forks
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 8 years ago by nphilipp.

Looking at the overview page of a random forked project, there doesn't seem to be a way to fork that fork again, the "Fork" button is missing.


thanks for the issue report, @nphilipp !

Just wondering what the specific use case here would be for wanting to fork a fork, is there a specific workflow scenario where this would be needed?

At first I only wondered why the button is missing, that it wouldn't really matter much if only forks from the original repo are possible. Thinking about it however, people might want to use private branches in a fork as the base for their forks.

Related - are forks not permitted to have issues/pull requests?

@ankursinha they are disabled by default, you can enable in the settings

Yea! Found it - "activate issue tracker", "activate pull requests".

is this isssue resolved ?

It seems to be, let's close :)
