Will deleting the parent Github repository affect children forks? -


i have repository structure hosted on github:

parentrepo | -----childrepo      |      -----childofchildrepo1      |      -----childofchildrepo2      |      -----childofchildrepo3 

the childrepo "authoritative" repository, far end users go latest code , issue pull requests. forked parentrepo.

the childofchildrepon forks made end users, forked childrepo.

the parentrepo parent of childrepo authoritative repository fork. push commits childrepo fork parentrepo.

i control parentrepo under 1 github account, , childrepo under github account.

if delete parentrepo repository, in way affect childrepo , child forks?

no, child forks know childrepo, , childrepo still around if public repo.

see "github help: deleting repository"

deleting private repository deletes of forks.
deleting public repository not.

however, asking github support confirmation idea.

that might affect pending pull request childrepo parentrepo though.
