Answer 1

If you really want to fork, the way would be:

1. Clone FalconUDP
2. in the clone, checkout single-threaded branch

Now you have two options:

a) new remote repo

1. Create new repo
2. Add it as remote to cloned repo, call it, let's say "new-remote"
3. git push single-threaded new-remote/master
4. New repo has contents of single-threaded as master

b) Local repo

1. delete branch master
2. checkout from branch single-threaded into new branch master
