In GitLab 12.6 and later, when project owners [reduce a project's visibility](../../../public_access/public_access.md#reducing-visibility),
it **removes the relationship** between a project and all its forks.
CAUTION: **Caution:**
When a public project with the repository feature set to "Members
only" is forked, the repository will be public in the fork. The owner
of the fork will need to manually change the visibility. This is being
fixed in [#36662](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36662).
## Repository mirroring
You can use [repository mirroring](repository_mirroring.md) to keep your fork synced with the original repository. You can also use `git remote add upstream` to achieve the same result.
