Github can't create a Fork from a branch, repository already exists

Time:06-29

I am trying to create a FORK from a BRANCH. In the repo, I selected my branch to Fork.

branch

Then hit the FORK button but then GitHub won't let me FORK, it says the repo already exists... I am part of 2 orgs and it won't let me FORK with the original org. I can only clone in a different org. How do I fix that?

Note that "test-app" does not exist, any other name won't change anything.

github error

CodePudding user response:

Well, I will answer my own question. Forking a repo with a different name within the same org is not available yet, but it will be added very soon it seems.
