My GitHub fork of the cpython repo was made awhile ago, before a 3.7 branch

recommendation was to to delete my fork and recreate it. That seemed kind
of drastic, and I will do it if that's really the only way, but this seems
like functionality Git and/or GitHub probably supports.
Thx,
You don't really need copies of official branches on your Github fork if
you're not a maintainer for these branches.
(You'll have to keep master though AFAIK since Git needs some branch to
be marked as "default".)
It's sufficient to just have topic branches for PRs there: you take
official branches from python/cpython and topic branches from your fork,
do the edits and manipulations locally, then upload the changed topic
branches to your fork.
I found this easier than having everything in your fork 'cuz it saves
you the hassle of keeping your copies up-to-date and having unexpected
merge conflicts in your PRs if the copies get out of date.
