How to fork my own github repository.
Raw
forkMyself.md

  1. create a new repository in Github, don't add a readme or anything.

  2. clone it on your computer

  3. add the original repository (the one you want to fork) as upstream source.

    git remote add upstream [url]

  4. fetch and merge upstream.

    git fetch upstream & git merge upstream/master
