Hi, I joined and uploaded a bunch of my stuff yesterday, but one of my repo shows 1 fork even though it doesn’t have any: https://github.com/cricri-pingouin/SliMind I must have messed up somehow, but don’t know how to fix it! Anyone can help? Thanks! |

Hi there! 👋 I don’t see that there are any forks that have been made from that repository? The branch icon and fork icon look very similar, and your repository has 1 branch - could that be what you saw? |

Oh, I see you deleted and recreated the repository, that’s why I can’t see a fork! In that case, I think I know what happened. Sometimes some of our users are reported for spammy behavior, and if that happens their profile gets hidden from everyone. If they have forked a repository, that still gets counted however. So if you saw that a fork had been made, but there was no username visible to say who forked it, they had probably been reported! I hope that clears things up! |

Ah, ok, thanks!
Yes, I fixed a bug at some point, so I just deleted the repository and recreated it while uploading the fix, killing 2 birds with 1 stone!
