Fork the project-template repo

Github forking can only be done once per account, and that fork cannot be forked further, so if this template were needed for additional repos, the org/user would be out of luck unless they manually cloned it. Putting in that info or finding a method around that would be ideal for the instructions.

I'll look into an easy way this week to manually clone repos via the Github UI. Heck, even if I have to build something, this should be an easy enough thing to do.

Hi @therebelrobot, thanks so much for looking into this! Definitely let us know if you find a good way to handle this. I'm thinking changing the instructions to manual clone would be best, but I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey @mjrouser! I'm working on a general solution over at https://github.com/therebelrobot/manualfork, though most of the work so far has been on https://github.com/therebelrobot/node-manualfork. I aim to have a full working app up on heroku by the end of the week (hopefully).

therebelrobot commented 9 years ago

Kk. So I finished up the manualfork service, I'll get a PR in today adding a clone button as an alternative forking method.

@therebelrobot Holy moly! That's amazing! I finally got to merging your PR. Could not be more impressed.

Question: Does manual fork also mirror the wiki? That would allow us to move it out of the repo itself.

therebelrobot commented 9 years ago

That is a good question... I think Github handles wiki pages as a separate git location, lemme look into that.

therebelrobot commented 9 years ago

So it looks like it doesn't by default, but Github does allow access to the wiki via git, which means it should be a simple process to add in wiki cloning. I'll look into adding that as a feature.

Thanks so much @therebelrobot for updating the name. I think you were spot on with that.

Any progress on including the wiki?

therebelrobot commented 9 years ago

I'm going to be working on that this week, I've got https://github.com/therebelrobot/mirror-wiki and https://github.com/therebelrobot/mirror-issues started to add the functionality to mirror.

mjrouser commented 9 years ago

Terrific!
