I'm assuming you forked that repository originally too, if that's the case then it takes the fork from the original creator

[tekknolagi]

I don't think so

[Leorev01]

Have you ever forked this repository in the past and just deleted it?
If not then that's weird you should contact support if you want to take it further

[josephhaaga]

experiencing the same issue with a repo i've never forked

[Leorev01]

Hey Joseph, its a bug so you should probably report this to github support

[Segilmez06]

Is there a separate bug report page? Feedback button on support brings us here. I was originally going to do bug report but here is the closest thing I can find.

Same problem here with a repository that I've never forked or interacted with

[Segilmez06]

Today I noticed the exact same problem. Kinda funny to see like your repositories getting mass forked.

[HenningLorenzen-ext-bayer]

Same for me. At first, I was flattered that a high-profile developer 👑 forked 'my' repo 😍 . But then I thought, 'Hey, wait a minute, ...' 🤔
