Fork problem

[glensc]

because zf1s/phpunit is fork of sebastianbergmann/phpunit in github relations it makes difficult to contribute.

typical push of new branch directs to create pull request to sebastianbergmann/phpunit not zf1s/phpunit 👍🏿

• https://github.com/glensc/php-phpunit/pull/new/composer-info

redirects to:

• https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/compare/main...glensc:php-phpunit:composer-info?expand=1

solution 1:

• edit the url manually to: https://github.com/zf1s/phpunit/compare/master...glensc:php-phpunit:composer-info?expand=1

i.e change sebastianbergmann/phpunit to zf1s/phpunit and main to master

solution 2:

• visit https://github.com/zf1s/phpunit and you should see create a pull request button

solution 3:

• contact github support and ask them to remove fork relation of zf1s/phpunit

I prefer the option 3, for others probably good idea to document in CONTRIBUTING.md, but the problem is that people don't read that file, they may be reading after they failed to submit to proper repo first.

ps: option 2, even github is confused, it continues to offer to create pull request even I already created one

it's a general "issue" in the way how github works...
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61118665/can-i-set-default-repository-for-pull-requests-from-fork

It's like that on all forked repos, and I've found myself creating PRs on upstream instead of on the forked repo multiple times, before I learned to always check and change the base repo/branch...

We could ask github to detach in this case, as we forked from a very old commit anyway, so it does not bring much value keeping that relation, to have it displayed that zf1s/phpunit is a fork of sebastianbergmann/phpunit. Still, it is somewhat a rule of open-source community that we should preserve those relations so that others could see that it is not an original work, but based on someone else's work.

you can show your appreciation with a text, no need for the "github link". and not all projects have forked with the "github way", but are still forks.
