<code>git-fork</code> - <span class="man-whatis">Fork a repo on github</span>
</p>
<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<p><code>git-fork</code> [<github-repo-url>]</p>
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p> If a github repo url is given, fork the repo. Like clone but forks first.</p>
<ol>
<li>forks the repo on github</li>
<li>clones the repo into the current dir</li>
<li>adds the original repo as a remote called <code>upstream</code></li>
</ol>
<p> If a url is not given and the current dir is a github repo, fork the repo.</p>
<ol>
<li>forks the current repo</li>
<li>rename the <code>origin</code> remote repo to <code>upstream</code></li>
<li>adds the forked repo as a remote called <code>origin</code></li>
</ol>
<p> Remotes will use ssh if you have it configured with GitHub, if not, https will be used.</p>
<p>Create a fork of a project on GitHub via command line.</p>
<p>A personal access token is required for making the API call to create a new fork in GitHub. <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#forks">API Documentation here</a></p>
<p>Make sure the personal access token has the right <code>OAuth</code> scopes for the repo(s)</p>
<p>Use <code>GITHUB_TOKEN</code> environment variable, or <code>git config --global --add git-extras.github-personal-access-token <your-personal-access-token></code></p>
<p>If using multiple accounts, override the global value in the specific repo using <code>git config git-extras.github-personal-access-token <other-acc-personal-access-token></code></p>
<h2 id="EXAMPLE">EXAMPLE</h2>
<p> Fork expect.js:</p>
<pre><code>$ git fork https://github.com/LearnBoost/expect.js
</code></pre>
<p> or just:</p>
<pre><code>$ git fork LearnBoost/expect.js
</code></pre>
<p> Then:</p>
<pre><code>$ ..<forks into your github profile and clones repo locally to expect.js dir>...
$ cd expect.js && git remote -v
origin git@github.com:<user>/expect.js (fetch)
origin git@github.com:<user>/expect.js (push)
upstream git@github.com:LearnBoost/expect.js (fetch)
upstream git@github.com:LearnBoost/expect.js (push)
</code></pre>
<p> If the current dir is a clone of expect.js, this has the same effect:</p>
<pre><code>$ git fork
</code></pre>
