clone_and_add_forks

Clone a GitHub fork as origin, add upstream, and add all other forks as remotes. This essentially mirrors the entire "Network Graph" locally.

Features

  • Clone your fork of a repository as the origin remote.
  • Add the original repository as the upstream remote.
  • Automatically add all forks of the original repository as remotes, named as the fork owner's username.

Usage

python clone_and_add_forks.py <repo_url> <username>

Example

λ python clone_and_add_forks\clone_and_add_forks.py https://github.com/pfmonville/whole_history_rating endolith
