You could duplicate the forked repository to a new repository (without the fork depencency) from the github UI, then remove the original forked one:

• Sign in to github
• Select the + sign in the top right corner, and Import repository.
• Import your forked repository. The new repository won't have the fork dependency.
• Delete the original, forked repository in the repository settings.
