NAME
       gh-repo-fork - Create a fork of a repository



SYNOPSIS
       gh repo fork [<repository>] [-- <gitflags>...] [flags]



DESCRIPTION
       Create a fork of a repository.


       With no argument, creates a fork of the current repository. Otherwise,
       forks the specified repository.


       By default, the new fork is set to be your origin remote and any
       existing origin remote is renamed to upstream. To alter this behavior,
       you can set a name for the new fork's remote with --remote-name.


       The upstream remote will be set as the default remote repository.


       Additional git clone flags can be passed after --.
