Creating a Private Fork of a GitHub Repository

Basic Steps

Create a new private repository on Github

Fork the repo (BASE_REPO_URL) to your new private repo (PRIVATE_REPO_URL) as follows:

BASE_REPO_URL=<BASE>  # remote URL of repo you are forking
PRIVATE_REPO_URL=<PRIVATE>  # remote URL of your new private fork repo

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare [email protected]:usi-systems/easytrace.git
