How to hide my one-off fork repo in Github?
I've forked the public repo, make the changes and pull request back to the parent repo. The parent repo owner merged my request.
My forked repo is one-off, I don’t want to see it in my list.
Can I hide it?

Changing a repository's visibilityOn GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. Under "Danger Zone", to the right of to "Change repository visibility", click Change visibility. Select a visibility.
Github does not allow a forked repository to be private. This article describes a way to make a private repo that can pull new features of a public repo. The private repo will behave just as a forked repo of the public repo.
Clicking the number of forks shows you the full network. From there you can click "members" to see who forked the repo.
You have two possibilities:
You can "hide" the repository from your GitHub profile by deleting the repository from GitHub, but leaving the local repository on your computer (or somewhere else).
You can then later re-add that local repo to GitHub if needed.
You can make the repository private (by first duplicating it) so that others won't see it on your profile, but it's still there, only you can see it.

You have to remove the repository (fork). This is available in the repository settings.
