It would be better to duplicate a repository instead of forking it. #84

Some reasons:

GitHub does not show forked repositories in search results
I recall reading an article that forked repositories got deleted when the user gets blocked by the original author (though I can't find the exact article)

It was already discussed here: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/General-Discussion/issues/34.

@Aga-C How about the GitHub search issue?

naveensingh commented 5 months ago

@mon-jai Your first point is valid. We'll detach the forked repositories sometime later in the future (when all apps are released and Fossify is popular)

naveensingh commented 5 months ago

All forked apps have been detached.
