convert from fork to normal repo about platformdirs HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok, just started that process.

And not only did GitHub support have a way to do it (thanks @jugmac00 ) but it didn't even require a human :) there's a virtual chat bot that can put the ticket in.

Ok, done. Thanks GitHub (and OP).

I'm in favor of this.

GitHub's search does not include forks by default.

This hurts the discoverability of this repository. I'm not aware of a way to remove the fork designation in place. This is the work around I've used before.

1. clone the fork repo locally
2. rename the fork repo
3. create a new non-fork repo in GitHub with the original name
4. push the local clone to the new repo
5. transfer issues from the renamed fork repo to the new repo
6. delete the fork repo

That is not necessary - you just need to contact the GitHub support.
