I would like to propose a pull request. But when I fork the project, it doesn't work and redirects me to my existing "youtube-dl" fork. Originally posted by @Surkal in #154 (comment) |

Unfortunately there is no way to have multiple forks within the same zone (main repository, forks, forks of forks, etc.). There is however an easy workaround to that (without needing a second account or some sketchy workarounds). For those of you who use (download) Gitkraken (gui for git) you can have a look at this screenshot That way you can have branches of different forks locally and set specific upstreams for your branches. |

If you already forked 'youtube-dl' you can add youtube-dlc as a remote.

If you want to go a step further you can tell github what branch to use as default.
