forking boilerplates? or simply cloning them?

Using gitlab/github.

I created boilerplates for all my projects so I've:

wordpress-boilerplate html5-boilerplate laravel-boilerplate ror-boilerplate

I'm debating myself if/when starting a new project I should fork boilerplate and thus save the relationship, or simply export boilerplates and push them to projects own repo.

What is your take on this?

I feel forking is not necessary since I wouldn't be pushing anything back to boilerplates.

Sometimes I think about such unimportant things :(
