    Project import requires requires a "Personal Access Token". I tried to generate one on GitHub. It seems that this feature is useful when I want to create a project on GitLab from my project on GitHub. Is this assumption correct? The question is about forking a GitHub project of someone else.

    -1 because, and as the previous comment states, the question is about forking a github project of someone else. The instructions in this answer won't work in such a case. Commented Jan 16, 2019 at 22:25

    @NikosAlexandris are you sure? Can't you create an access token for your account and access someone else's repo you have read access to? (for instance, every single public repo) Commented Jan 22, 2020 at 17:34
  • Tried and seems to be a copy/import what's good is that it includes all the commit. But this is still not a fork of the original project. Ideally if the original repo change, the imported gitlab doesn't. Commented Apr 11, 2024 at 4:55
