Rewriting a project in another language, Git convention?

Last year I wrote a university project in Python 2.7, a year since then I have learned Java and I want to rewrite this project in Java.

I have a GitHub repository for the Python version and would like to have one for the Java version.

Is the standard procedure for creating a whole new repo called " NAME-Java

" to mark up the Python source, or to fork it? I have no intention of ever merging them in the future.

I had a search but could not find any search terms that led me to a helpful source.

The new repo makes sense. Its naming convention is left your way.



  • Branching is relevant if you benefit from merges.
  • Forking is relevant if you benefit from pull requests.
