Cannot delete foorepo it still contains attached forks

Question

165 views Asked by guettli At 06 January 2025 at 15:03

If I try to delete a repo in kallithea/rhodecode I get this message:

Cannot delete it still contains attached forks

I know that there is a fork of this project. The fork should survive, but the original should be deleted?

How to delete the repo?

In RhodeCode Enterprise 3 we also added now option to detach, or delete forks when deleting origin repo. Removing repo with a lot of forks

This way you can decide what to do with a when you have a lot of forks

I found the answer myself.

Go to the fork (example foorepo-new): Options/Settings/Advanced.

Set "fork of" to empty.

Now deleting of the original repo is possible.
