git - Is it possible to 'fork a fork' in Github?

Question

I am currently working on a project that is a spinoff (fork) from a framework I have been working on.

This project is intended to be pretty generic, but now I need to fork the codebase again for a client of mine.

At this moment, I have created a custom branch for my client, but I'd rather have a standalone repository for this.

• Is is possible to 'fork a fork'?
• If not, what alternatives do I have?

Outline of the situation:

• Framework repository (original)
  • Generic application repository (fork)
    • (not yet) Client repository (fork of application)

Note: when trying to 'fork a fork' in Github, you will receive a notification that you have already forked the project:

Answer 1

This is now very possible. You just go to the fork you want to fork and click "fork" like you would always do. This only works if you don't have a different fork of that repository in your account already, though. If you do, you have to delete it.

Since this is the correct answer now, it is better to highlight it.
