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 --.
Options

- --fork-name <string>
Rename the forked repository
- --org <string>
