Delete fork dependency of a GitHub repository

You can contact github support and ask them to switch your repository to “normal mode”.

On this page, “Commit was made in a fork” paragraph, it is explained that one has to go through support to switch. Therefore, it is likely that there is no way to do that by yourself (unless you destroy and recreate your repo which is explained before… if you do so be careful if you have tickets or a wiki attached to your project as they will be deleted!).

Update Jan 2022:

Use the GitHub chatbot-virtual-assistant at https://support.github.com/request/fork .
