Add Forked projects to the same GitHub repository

Question

I'd like to be able to select the destination folder when I fork a project.

I have to fork different projects from different github accounts (to later do some small changes and do a pull request). Every time I fork a project, it creates a new repository in my Github. To keep them more organised , I would like to be able to select the destination of the projects I fork.

The idea would be to create a repo (e.g. forked_projects ) , and select that repo as destination every time I fork one.

Is this something possible? and if so, is there any not so complicated way of doing it?

I read about submodules, so I created a repository, with a .gitsmodules file and [submodule "repository1"] path = repository1 url = https://github.com/username/repository1 But i really do not know if that is a viable way of doing it, and how to use it.

Answer 1

No, in GitHub website, you don't have this notion of folders.

But you have a filter dropdown that let you see only "forked" repositories:

Using submodule is not easy so I really think it's a bad idea to use that to organize repositories (and it won't remove the clutter on repo list).
