Description
Creates a fork for proposing changes to a project hosted on a git forge, like GitHub or GitLab. Also
configures the fork to make it obvious that it only exists for submitting changes, so that the fork
clutters up your git forge profile a bit less. Also adds a 'fork' remote to which you can push your
proposed changes.
Files
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/gitforge/access_tokens/DOMAIN
Where DOMAIN is the domain name of the git forge (e.g. "github.com", "salsa.debian.org"), this file
should contain an API access token to log in to your account at the git forge. If unset,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config.Name
