  • If the connection as fork no longer makes sense.
    The example used in this post started as a fork from an example repo.
    It was great to get started, but the connection no longer makes sense. No pull requests from my fork to that original example repository would be logical.

  • It can make extra contributions harder.
    If anyone wanted to fork, (and contribute to) gatsby-theme-nicky-blog while it was still marked as a fork of that example repo. GitHub wouldn't let them do that if they forked that example repo as well.
