Repeaters can't clone #8

Open jmejia opened 5 years ago

jmejia commented 5 years ago

When a repeater tries to clone I believe it attempts to fork the repo. If the student has a repo with that same name it might not be able to clone the project board.

I'm not 100% sure on this but it should definitely be looked into.

Repeaters will need to delete any old fork, otherwise Github will append numeric values to the repo, like "repo" becomes "repo-1" "repo-2" etc every time you try to fork it again

I think this should be managed at an instructional level and could probably close this issue.
