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.
