NAME

gt-repo-fork - Fork a repository

SYNOPSIS

gt repo fork [<repository>] [-- <gitflags>...] [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Fork a repository for your account, or into an organization with --org. An existing fork is reported instead of failing.

--clone clones the fork (Git flags can follow --). Inside a clone of the repository, --add-remote adds the fork as "origin" and renames the current "origin" to "upstream".

A repository can be supplied as NAME (one of yours), OWNER/NAME, HOST/OWNER/NAME or a URL.
Without an argument, the repository of the current Git clone is used.
