There is no way to have two forks of the same GitHub project unless you use two different GitHub accounts.
So:
-
Create a separate GitHub account (and verify the email)
-
Fork the
project -
Invite your main GitHub account as a “Collaborator” (from
the settings)
You may need to add the extra step of creating an organization with the new GitHub account and inviting your main github account as an owner of the organization (also make sure your new fork is in that new organization). This will let you do things like deploy automatically to a Heroku app that is connected to your main GitHub account.
Why can’t we just have multiple forks???
