How can I view the forks that originated FROM another fork? The project I'm looking at has a ton of forks to the point where Github can't even show all of them already but I wanted to see the forks from a certain fork, if that makes sense.
For example:
Original Project
'-> Fork 1
'-> Fork 2
'-> Fork 2a
'-> Fork 2b
'-> Fork 2c
'-> Fork 3
I want to see the projects that were forked from Fork 2 so that means fork 2a, 2b, 2c, etc.
Is ther an extension or website or software or whatever that I can use to view this information?
Head to the project and click Insights, then Forks. This will show you a paginated table of all the forks.
You can filter the table by period and repository type and then sort based on stars, recent updates, open issues and open pull requests.
There is a "Switch to tree view" button in the upper right-hand corner which may be useful to visualise the forks, but not all forks will be shown if there are too many.
From the Insights tab, you can see the last 100 recently pushed forks by clicking the Network tab. This graph can take several seconds to load, depending on how many forks of the project there are.
The network graph has keyboard shortcuts:
