1. Check Organization Settings:

  • Go to Member privileges > Repository forking > Enable Allow forking of private repositories, then save.

Note:

If enabled, forking is allowed on private and public repositories. If disabled, forking is only allowed on public repositories. This setting is also configurable per-repository.

2. Verify Repository Content:

  • Ensure the repository is not empty, as empty repositories cannot be forked.
