The Searching repositories – User Documentation mentions
By default, forked repositories are not shown.
But it forgets this only holds for the main search box which is conveniently called “Search GitHub” but documented as “Search repositories“:
Based on that documentation you’d think the “Search Repositories” box would adhere to the same defaults, right?
Wrong. We live in the “form over function” era so that would be too easy.

At the time of discovering Welcome to workaround.org via More ISP Mail saveback – Joe C. Hecht – Google+:
ISPmail tutorials
The famous ISP-style mail server tutorials live here. Learn how to set up your own fully-functional mail server using Postfix, Dovecot IMAP/POP3 and MySQL backend on a Debian server just like your favorite mail or website hosting provider.
- ISPmail tutorial using Postfix 2.11 (Debian Jessie)
- ISPmail tutorial using Postfix 2.9 (Debian Wheezy)
I have been maintaining the ISPmail tutorial since Debian Woody. However those older Debian versions are no longer supported. If you still like to read the old versions I have provided PDF versions of the tutorials for Squeeze, Lenny, Etch, Sarge andWoody.

My projects
I am a system administrator and programmer. In my nerdy spare time I work on web applications, Python and Ruby programs, write articles or explore new software technologies. On workaround.org you can find news, solutions and hints on my findings and get help. Of course your feedback is welcome.
These are some projects I am currently working on:IRC – Internet relay chat
- IRC is a great medium for getting instant help (at least on the freenode IRC network). I have collected some tips about Getting help on IRC to help you get help instead of getting barbecued.
- knoba’s factoids
I run a bot called knoba (short for knowledge base) on the freenode IRC network. Two channels I visit frequently are #postfix and #squid. So I have fed the bot with lots of factoids that you can query using !foobar in the channel. These are the factoids understood in #squid and #postfix. Please don’t play with the bot publicly. Send it a “/msg knoba help" and learn how it works.Linux tips

Regarding the Squid web proxy
Squid is a powerful open-source web proxy. I was responsible for a large Squid installation at a former employer. Maybe the following articles help you save time in your daily work.
Padrino web framework
Padrino is an lean Ruby web framework. It is an interesting alternative to the heavier Ruby-on-Rails. I spent quite some time with it and created a couple of articles about it:
- Using FactoryGirl to test Padrino web applications using Padrino and Sequel
- Using Zurb Foundation with Padrino and Compass
- How to use user authentication in your Padrino apps with padrino-warden
- Padrino cheat sheet
- Clearing RSpec test databases with Padrino and Sequel
- Sequel model pagination with Padrino
Zabbix monitoring
Zabbix is a mighty open-source monitoring software. If you need a serious system for your organisation and manage to condone its creepy web interface it is hands down the the most superior software I have ever seen. And I have been dealing with monitoring software since Nagios was called Netsaint.
These articles should help you in your daily work maintaining a monitoring system:
