Hi, I am very new with Airbyte. My apologies if I am missing something obvious here. How do I fork a connector? Thank you for helping.

Hi Tanvir, thanks for letting me know about this. I was able to reproduce it on my end to, specifically with quickbooks, I'll let the team know. I was finding success with other connectors

Ok thank you. Let me know if there is an alternative way for us to move forward with connector forking while this is being fixed. I appreciate your help here.

There are a few options that don't involve the connector builder: 1. custom docker image: You can create your own Dockerfile based on the latest version of the connector image and layer your changes on top. 2. Rebuild the connector with python cdk 3. submit a PR on github

Our CDK is the connector development kit, separate from the low/no code connector builder. it is an alternate way to create a connector
