Does not work when I have existing fork with different name #28

Open pllim opened 3 years ago

pllim commented 3 years ago

When this is run and the upstream repo name is different from my fork's repo name, say, upstream renamed it since I last forked it, I get this error: An error occurred when cloning fork - skipping repository

The workaround is to rename the fork's repo name to be the same as upstream.

Or just skip these and dump them into a "manual_checks_required.txt" file or whatever. E.g. in cases of generic repo names I certainly use a different name when forking, e.g. a project, or teams or similar repo gets prepended with their org name or whatever is sensible at the time of forking thus I definitely don't want them to be renamed by an automated tool.
