Detach fork from parent repo to make this repo searchable
dhensen opened this issue · 13 comments
I noticed when trying to search in the code of this repo the following error message:
Sorry, forked repositories are not currently searchable.
You could try searching the parent repository.
Is it an option to detach from the parent repo in order to be able to search in the code of this repo on github?
No, it's not an option that I'm aware of, but correct me if I'm wrong.
It's indeed not an option in the github settings UI. But I know that one can ask Github support and they will do it for you if you want them to.
Ah, I think this may be because I'm not necessarily an "admin" of this repo (I don't have a Settings tab available), I just have commit privileges as a developer. Maybe @ericholscher can take a look and address this.
Hmm. I'm fine detaching the fork, but it sounds like we need to email github?
@ericholscher yes, contacting GitHub support sounds like the way to do it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16052845/173630
I'll let you handle this since I don't have admin privileges here.
In my experience they are fairly quick in handling issues like this. Has an email been sent?
I'm not sure if @ericholscher has sent the email yet. Eric - if you don't have time to manage this I'm happy to do it if you'd like to give me admin access to this repo.
I've emailed them 👍
I haven't seen any changes, so I just opened a support request on GitHub for this.
@ericholscher GitHub needs permission to do this from someone with admin permissions on this repo:
Can you please cc the appropriate person into this thread and ask that they 'reply all' from a verified email address on their GitHub account with something like "I grant permission to detach rtfd/CommonMark-py from rolandshoemaker/CommonMark-py."
I don't see the email that I'm meant to respond to?
Ah, just got it :)
Alright, it looks like GitHub's completed this.
