github importer, for making a copy of a repository from the web interface

For testing a reported opencv bug

https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/10694#issuecomment-2124011465

 

I wanted to make a copy of one of my repositories. Instead of cloning to a local directory etc, I wanted to do it from github's web interface. The solution seemed to be to use github importer. 

 

At the upper-right corner of any page, click the plus sign, and then click Import repository
