Additional repo created when creating assignments - forking doesn't come from my original repo

[professordaehn]

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit miffed by what happens behind the scenes when I create assignments. For example, my classroom is maintained in a GitHub organization named msu-csc232-fa24. I created a starter repo named lab07 in that organization. When I create a new assignment (individual) I point to the template repo msu-csc232-fa24/lab07 filing out all the rest of the fields as needed. When I see the assignment that gets created I find that the starter code is not from msu-csc232-fa24/lab07 but instead, it's from msu-csc232-fa24/msu-csc232-fa24-lab07-stl-stack-exercises-lab07 (which is generated from msu-csc232-fa24/lab07). This repo that actually serves as the source (origin) repo for the students seems to be generated with a canonical form of: GitHub-org/GitHub-org-reponame-repotitle-reponame.
