title: Which is the right way to duplicate a repository and get rid of any dependency with it's parent?
body: <p>I need to duplicate a repository without forking it since I will not make any PR to the parent repository. So I have found <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/duplicating-a-repository/#mirroring-a-repository" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this docs</a> from Github and I follow the steps in there.</p>
  
  <p>The original repository is <a href="https://github.com/million12/docker-nginx-php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docker-nginx-php</a> and I have created the duplicated in my account under <a href="https://github.com/reypm/another-lamp-docker" rel="nofollow noreferrer">another-lamp-docker</a></p>
  
  <p>What I expect to see is just a duplicate of the repository but without any reference to previous commits, contributors, authors, etc and yes, I am not stolen this work, I will people know on the <code>README</code> that the new work is based on this original repository.</p>
  
  <p>As a result I am seeing the following behavior:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The image below shown the main screen of the duplicated repository:</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ELos9.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ELos9.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The image below shown the branches tab, showing up the 4 branch from the original repository but showing also kind of dependencies.</li>
  </ul>

  <ul>
  <li>Even on the contributors tab I am seeing old owners</li>
  </ul>

  <ul>
  <li>Is that the expected behavior from duplicating a repository?</li>
  <li>Can I get rid of all that history (I believe this is what it's) information? </li>
  <li>If so how?</li>
  </ul>
