I have the blessing from the original contributor of an inactive project to fork it and continue work. However he coded the project in Visual Basic and I plan on porting it over to C#. This means everything will likely be deleted and replaced with C# source files.
I have superficial knowledge of Github repositories limited to a few small projects where the only thing I’ve done is push, pull, and clone. I’ve never forked anything, but I imagine if I were to replace the entire project would Github give me grief since I’m essentially losing all commit history?
Sorry for the silly question but I want to be sure how this works in case I need to go back and clarify to the original author whether I might need to do more than a fork.
