git - How do I change which GitHub project I forked from?

Question

I forked a project, made some changes, and got a pull request accepted. But now, the project I forked moved to another repository and is a fork of that repository.

That is:

Original -> MyFork

Now:

NewOriginal -> Original -> MyFork

How would I get it to the following?

NewOriginal -> MyFork

Answer 1

NOTE: The following solution is incomplete as you'll lose all wiki content and issues specific to your fork.

You can achieve this using the following steps:

1. Pull down all branches and tags from your existing fork.
2. Delete your repository on GitHub.
3. Fork from the new repository.
4. Update the remote URL if necessary.
5. Push all your local branches and tags to the new repository.
