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.
