not sure if this is appropriate -- GH/Github question

[bruce]

Testing the "create fork" process using the "GH" Github cli.

The test process is:
Trying to have a Github organization with a single test user "foo"

I create the Github org -- gets http://github.com/numinds

I create a test user "foo"

I have a test VM, with a test user "test"
For test, I create the ssh priv/pub key

On the test VM, I also install GH to use the cli
-I also have the following

cat /home/test/.config/gh/config.yml
hosts:
    github.com:
        oauth_token: 111111
        user: foo
editor: vi


I'm trying to fork the
 http://github.com/drupal/drupal   to be in the     http://github.com/numinds

I can do:
(in the /home/test/numinds dir)
  gh repo create drupal

This creates the http://github.com/numinds/drupal (blank/bare repo)
  as well as the /home/test/numinds/drupal cloned repo in the local dir

However, doing:
 gh repo fork https://github.com/drupal/drupal numinds/drupal

Doesn't work as I'd like it to:
I'm trying to have the drupal repo be http://github.com/numinds/drupal <<<

Instead, it creates the drupal repo in/under the "foo" user >>>> doing
somethig wrong!

It generates the repo as:
  https://github.com/t-smith1/drupal


Any pointers/clues on what I'm missing.

I have the latest version of GH v0.9.0

I have everything I can possibly view in the "member_privileges" page checked!
  https://github.com/organizations/numinds/settings/member_privileges

Thoughts/Pointers on this.

Thanks

You are correct, this is not the appropriate place. GitHub and
Git are two different things. The most concise description I've
seen is the following from StackOverflow [1]:

(Note: I edited "the service" with "a service".)

Please create an issue at https://github.com/cli/cli instead
for issues related to the GH client.
