Testing the "create fork" process using the "GH" Github cli.
The test process is:
Trying to have a Github organization with a single test user "foo"
I create the Github org -- gets http://github.com/numinds
I create a test user "foo"
I have a test VM, with a test user "test"
For test, I create the ssh priv/pub key
On the test VM, I also install GH to use the cli
-I also have the following
cat /home/test/.config/gh/config.yml
hosts:
github.com:
oauth_token: 111111
user: foo
editor: vi
I'm trying to fork the
http://github.com/drupal/drupal to be in the http://github.com/numinds
I can do:
(in the /home/test/numinds dir)
gh repo create drupal
This creates the http://github.com/numinds/drupal (blank/bare repo)
as well as the /home/test/numinds/drupal cloned repo in the local dir
However, doing:
gh repo fork https://github.com/drupal/drupal numinds/drupal
Doesn't work as I'd like it to:
I'm trying to have the drupal repo be http://github.com/numinds/drupal <<<
Instead, it creates the drupal repo in/under the "foo" user >>>> doing
somethig wrong!
It generates the repo as:
https://github.com/t-smith1/drupal
Any pointers/clues on what I'm missing.
I have the latest version of GH v0.9.0
I have everything I can possibly view in the "member_privileges" page checked!
https://github.com/organizations/numinds/settings/member_privileges
Thoughts/Pointers on this.
Thanks

You are correct, this is not the appropriate place. GitHub and
Git are two different things. The most concise description I've
seen is the following from StackOverflow [1]:
> Git is a revision control system, a tool to manage your
> source code history.
>
> GitHub is a hosting service for Git repositories.

> So they are not the same thing: Git is the tool, GitHub is

(Note: I edited "the service" with "a service".)

Please create an issue at https://github.com/cli/cli instead
for issues related to the GH client.
Thanks,
