1 week ago I favour the cleaner solution (new repo, copy what is needed), but I'm not the expert on what's easiest here, so up to you guys.

I'm working on updating the Open University coursehttps://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=11717, and will need to make some changes to the source files. Fortunately Alex Kell (the original author of the course) has made this nice repohttps://github.com/alexanderkell/muse_teaching_kit with all the source files and scripts to generate the SCORM package needed for the course.
It probably makes sense to set up a new repo in the EnergySystemsModellingLab org, based on Alex's repo, and make all the changes there. I'm not sure whether it's best to fork Alex's repo and delete all the files that we no longer need, or set up a new repo from scratch and manually copy all the files from Alex's repo that we want to keep.
The second approach would give us a cleaner repo, as Alex's repo is pretty large (close to 400 MB) and contains a lot of files that we don't need.
The other thing to think about is if we want the new repo to be private or public, as I believe it's not super straightforward to create a private fork of a public repo?
Any thoughts? @dalonsoahttps://github.com/dalonsoa @ahawkeshttps://github.com/ahawkes
