Hi everyone,

There’re some existing SDKs on Github that their maintainers archived the repository completely,

and I’d like to fix some bugs and add some new features, which sometimes can be larger than the existing code itself,

My question is which approach is better:

  1. Fork the existing repository, but the problem is you can’t open Issues on the fork, and there might be other limitations
  2. Copy the existing code into my new project, and point out in the description that this is a continuation of the original repository or that some of its code has been used.

I’m also open to other suggestions or ideas,

Thanks,
