[Feature Request] Search additionally not forked repository copies #65

Open andry81 opened 4 months ago

andry81 commented 4 months ago

There is repositories on the GitHub which is not forked, but still is a copy or clone.

For example:

https://useful-forks.github.io/?repo=dirk-thomas/vcstool

where https://github.com/MaxandreOgeret/vcstool2 is a continue of the vcstool development: https://github.com/MaxandreOgeret/vcstool2/issues/5

There is an option to search a repository by the name:

https://github.com/search?q=vcstool&type=repositories

I suggest to strip the repository name, for example, from trailing numbers and search directly on the GitHub.
