Detach forks from SimpleMobileTools #97

Closed tom93 closed 5 months ago

tom93 commented 5 months ago

Currently the repositories (e.g. FossifyOrg/File-Manager) are "forks" of the corresponding SimpleMobileTools repositories.

There are at least a couple of issues with this:

  1. New pull requests will by default target the upstream repository (SimpleMobileTools)
  2. Forks are not shown in the GitHub search results.

Please consider detaching the forks. It can be done through this support page (using a chatbot apparently).

Valid point that I didn't consider before but I don't think this is true if you forked the repo from Fossify. If your fork is a fork of the original SMT repo, then SMT will be the base repository.

It happens if I go to https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Commons/pulls and click "New pull request". (But you are correct that if I go to my own fork and click "New pull request" then it will target FossifyOrg.)

Oops, sorry for missing the existing issue(s). Though I think the two points I raised are new and important; please consider reopening.

Ok, we'll detach them soon.

(I see you already wrote in #84 that you'll detach in the future -- maybe reopen that issue until then to reduce dupes? Sorry again for the noise.)
